Got a troubling emotion? A difficult relationship? Call the TTE hotline!
In which I encourage everyone, not just teachers, to get relationship support FOR FREE
Let’s say you just encountered an asshole. You’re filled with feelings: anger, shock, confusion, humiliation, outrage. What do you do with all this emotion?
Call the TTE hotline.
I know. It’s the Teaching through Emotions hotline. That’s only for teachers, right?
Nope. It’s for everyone.
Emotion work is relieving for everybody!! So give it a shot: Punch this number into your phone
413.239.4158
and record your story. Call as many times as you need to. If you want, leave an email address so I can get back in touch with you. (No phone numbers, please. Asynchronous communication increases the chances of my making contact.)
I’ll possibly respond to your story on the air! So make sure you don’t use names — unless they’re pseudonyms. Or initials. That sort of thing.
Sharing your story will do two important things: get relief for you. And help other listeners who have had similar experiences. Which makes you both brave and generous.
And smart. I mean, this is what I do. I help people unpack and understand their worst experiences. Because these experiences so often mean something entirely different from what people think they mean! And getting the meaning right — with the help of someone like me — can change everything!
I hope you give it a shot.
