Young people who attend international schools often speak more than one language. This might be the language of their parents and the language of the country they live in, the language of their school, or all of these. Young people may also speak the languages of several other places they have lived in during their childhood. Language has a big effect on the way young people understand, experience, and express their emotions. When it comes to mental health support, languages are a tool for identifying and expressing feelings through a process of healing and positive change. For young people who speak multiple languages, the language they use in therapy may help them access and describe experiences and emotions from different parts of their lives. Sometimes, these experiences are best communicated without a spoken language at all through nonverbal expression and creative activity. 📝 Read on in our blog: https://bit.ly/4dxjAh4 #language #internationalschool #nonverbalexpression

Sometimes children can display a lack of interest in school and low motivation and interest in anything. We can help! Apathy is a lack of feeling, emotion, interest or concern about something related to emotional, social, spiritual, philosophical, virtual or physical life and the world. Children may feel a lack a sense of purpose, worth or meaning in their life, they may also exhibit insensibility or sluggishness. Apathy is described as a result of the children feeling they do not possess the level of skill required to confront a challenge. It may also be a result of perceiving no challenge at all. We use CBT and DBT techniques to develop the skill and challenge levels; we move boredom into 'engagement', apathy into 'flow', worry into 'control' and anxiety in 'relaxation'. artsandmindscentre.co.uk #interventionwithimpact

Helping Mental Health Professionals Build Confidence in English | Connect with more clients, excel in a new role & share your expertise with a wider audience✨| Neurolanguage Coach® | Business English #MyEnglishTherapy
𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 🪟 Few understand this more than mental health professionals. Multilingual therapists probably understand this better than anyone. Laura contacted me because she wanted to feel more comfortable offering English therapy sessions, since most of her clients are Spanish speakers. She had a strong level of English, but rarely got the opportunity to use it. Once we began working together, her English started to flow more naturally. Being a polyglot and having a love of languages, she eagerly absorbed new vocabulary and made connections with the words she already knew ♻️ Her unique insights and varied experiences added a fresh perspective to our debates on different mental-health related topics. She hopes to offer sessions in German and Italian one day as well …and I’m sure she will! ⚠️ Do you often feel blocked during English therapy sessions? ✅ Would you like to express yourself with more confidence and ease? Send me a DM to book your free 30-minute call to chat about your current situation and future goals – I’d love to help you reach them! ✨ _____________________________ 𝘐 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘢𝘺 𝘠𝘌𝘚 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 🚀 Follow my posts 🔔 | #MyEnglishTherapy #Psicología #SaludMental #Wellness #MentalHealth #Psychology

I help psychologists build global careers by developing advanced English communication skills | Editor & Proofreader | Writing Instructor | Musician | Author & Poet | [pronounced "LEE-ah"]
If you’re a mental health professional, you know the importance of listening. Transcription work—converting a spoken conversation to written text—requires careful listening and allows for some interesting observations about language usage. - Every individual has their own speech idiosyncrasies, favorite words and phrases, and particular habits and patterns of expression. - Nobody speaks perfectly. Even highly educated first-language speakers fumble over words, mispronounce things, stop and restart sentences, misconjugate verbs, and lose trains of thought. - Nobody understands perfectly. Sometimes I have to replay part of a recording several times before all the words come into focus. And I still encounter words and phrases I’ve never heard before. If you’re a mental health professional looking for a deep listener to help you boost your English communication skills, let’s connect! #MentalHealthProfessionals #DeepListening #Transcription #LanguageLearning #EnglishCommunication
