Trauma-informed teaching is about understanding behavior. It is not about excusing behavior. It is about teaching the whole student.

Back in 2016, I wrote about not being able to orgasm from oral sex.

10 years on, I've updated this post through new-but-older eyes. An in-depth piece in which I share my personal perspective on internal and external sexual pressure & expectations.

Why Cunnilingus Doesn’t Work for Me: I Can’t Orgasm from Oral Sex

Why cunnilingus doesn’t work for me, what it’s like not to orgasm from oral sex, and what that taught me about pleasure, pressure, and sexual expectations.

Remembering the lives marked by war — and the systems that keep demanding more of them.
Peace is not an endpoint.
It’s how we choose to care in the midst of harm.
May we keep practising, together.

Trauma Fundamentals for Higher Educators

5-Is our best approach as higher educators to surveil our students and take the deficit-based approach to label them as disengaged? Is that the best we've got? I hope not.

6-I invite everyone to educate themselves about the impact of trauma on teaching and learning. I spoke about this here: https://teaforteaching.com/243-trauma-aware-pedagogy/

7-I'm curious what others think of this article and its ethical concerns?
