Delightful Dissent - Ep. 35 - You think with your brain?
With Elizabeth Arifien
Recorded live at 12:00 PM on Tuesday 07 September 2021
Ever struggled to figure something out whilst sat still? Ever tried to learn something physical but found your brain getting in the way? We're told that the mind directs the body. That the best way to think things through is by sitting still, and the best way to learn is to remember the steps of a process and act them out. What if that's not the whole picture?
Join Elizabeth Arifien and me as we find out if you really do think with your brain. We'll explore how how movement, language and words work alongside thought. We'll look at different learning modalities and the ways neurodivergent people can learn differently and successfully. We'll share our own experiences understanding the world in ways that go beyond thought.
