Your Therapist Needs Therapy 57 - Systems Beings Lab with Naoko Ellis & Derek Gladwin

Your Therapist Needs Therapy

Jeremy is joined this week by the dynamic duo of Naoko Ellis & Derek Gladwin from the University of British Columbia where they founded the Systems Beings Lab, a collaborative research collective that tackles the complexity of modern issues. In this episode, Derek and Naoko discuss emerging collaborative spaces in academia to address the climate emergency, emphasizing the positive student response and the need for systemic change. They highlight the importance of embracing uncertainty and the interplay of affective, relational, and cognitive dimensions in education and therapy. The conversation underscores the necessity of shifting from traditional, competitive academic models to more collaborative, regenerative approaches. It’s a delightful chat and shows hopeful shifts in the world of higher education.
