Welcome to the Journey!
Hello there! I'm Bridgette, the in house mental health nerd with a relentless curiosity that keeps me on a perpetual quest for knowledge. I'm a passionate educator, that thrives on sharing the fascinating insights I gather from the world of psychology with others, hoping to spark a change in the current mental health crisis.
I started building out a concept I've named Emotional Recognition through Auditory Awareness after publishing Arnold's Silent Heart. Research shows that when we name our emotions, our brains are able to reset and bring us back to a safe place. We naturally hear sounds at high frequencies or low frequencies, giving us the ability to associate a sound to a feeling. I'm on a mission to give kids another tool in their emotional recognition tool box.
In my journey, I've embraced a trauma-informed approach, recognizing the profound impact that experiences can have on individuals. This lens informs not only my understanding of psychology but also shapes my interactions with others, fostering empathy and a deep appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I wear my family hat. It's bright and colorful encompassing my husband who is my biggest cheerleader, my creative, business minded daughter and inquisitive, science loving son. Our love for exploring has turned us into avid travelers, seeking inspiration from diverse cultures and landscapes. There's something about immersing ourselves in new environments that invigorates my spirit and broadens my perspective. I love watching each of us soak in new sights, sounds, and smells.
A self-proclaimed world changer and impact maker, I believe in the power of small actions to create significant ripples of positive change. Whether in the classroom, at home, or out in the world, I strive to make a difference, no matter how small, with the hope of contributing to a more compassionate and understanding society.
I'm so glad you're here and I look forward to leaving an impact with you!
Love,
Bridgette
