Llurpsie_Noodle - I'm going to print this out and carry it with me to class! You are a godsend!!
truly, this is super helpful. thank you so much.
what's scariest for me is this 'blanking out' effect - i experienced it last semester when i was meeting with students a lot. it's as if my mind goes blank, i forget the material, it's almost like i lose my *own* critical thinking skills. my mind comes to a stuttering halt. totally tied to the anxiety of graduate school. gotta work on that in therapy. at the moment this is happening even at the stage of putting together lesson plans. i'm trying to find a way of pushing through so i can just get the darn work done- i think these suggestions will help too.
yours,
philyra
