How Teddy Bear Talk Support works is that you have humans operating in "teddy bear mode" where they are limited in what else they can do besides mostly just listen to what a talker is saying.  In this workshop, we will explore these other limited things that "teddy bears" can be asked to do, with ample opportunities to try on the roles of talker and teddy bear during our explorations.  As teddy bears, we'll be learning how to support the talker without bringing in our own agendas.  How do we keep it about them and not <b>us</b> (and what <b>we</b> might do or what <b>we</b> might be interested in)?

Workshop description

With Teddy Bear Talk Support, "teddy bears" are primarily focused on actively listening to a talker, but they may also be asked to do some things a few other small things. In this workshop, we will explore these other limited things that "teddy bears" can be asked to do. You'll have ample opportunities to experience both the talker and teddy bear roles during our activities. As teddy bears, we'll be learning how to support the talker without bringing in our own agendas.  How do we keep it about them and not us (and what we might do or what we might be interested in)? We'll also be experimenting with how to have Teddy Bear Talk Support become a part of our lives.  What can we put in place to have this be something we do on an ongoing basis?
