Welcome to Season 4 of Teaching through Emotions! We are excited to drop the first episode just a few days before World Teachers Day. October 5th is the day devoted every year to honoring educators the world over, specifically to draw attention to
* Teachers’ rights and responsibilities
* Standards for teacher education
* Expectations for teacher recruitment and employment
* Requirements for teaching and learning conditions
Consider Teaching through Emotions our paean to teachers and our regular commemoration of World Teachers Day!

In this episode, you will meet some of the members of TTE’s High School TSG: Ann, Kim, Elizabeth, and Jane. Just one week into the school year,
they talk about
* Catastrophizing: What it is, why teachers spiral into worst-case thinking, and what to do about anxious thoughts and negative self-talk
* Body Snatching: Noticing and fighting against other people’s unwelcome emotions like stress, frustration, and impatience
* Self-Regulating: Sharing ways to calm down even in the heat of the moment, with practical emotional regulation and stress management strategies for teachers
* Stop Over-optimizing!: Or, to put it positively, Under-optimize! Let go of perfectionism to lower the pressure and prevent early-year teacher burnout
* First Week of School: How the first week back can be difficult even for veteran teachers
These are experienced teachers who are being honest about the tough emotions and experiences they had in the first week of school and share ways to combat them. With care and humor.
I think you’ll relate.
