Not your typical session.
Here, science meets lived experience — with strategies you can use straight away.
How do we help traumatised students move from survival to learning?
In this session, Beck Thompson — Teacher, speaker, and author of Chasing Normal — shares how rhythm, connection, and the brain’s natural sequence can calm the stress response and create safety.
Drawing on Dr. Bruce Perry’s neuroscience and Beck's own lived experience, Beck shows how simple, nurturing strategies regulate the lower brain, build trust, and open access to the cortex — where focus, problem-solving, and learning become possible.
