Workshop description

With Teddy Bear Talk Support, "teddy bears" are primarily engaged in actively listening to a talker, but they may also be asked to provide other kinds of fodder for what the talker is saying. In this workshop, we will explore the limited things that teddy bears can be asked to do, and we'll have ample opportunities to experience both the talker and teddy bear roles during these 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 offer to be teddy bears for people in our lives and how to ask people to take on the teddy bear role for us.  What can we put in place to make it easier for us to reach out in these ways?
