Sped Teacher Small Talk: The Importance of Self-Care for Special Educators

Welcome to another episode of Sped Teacher Small Talk, a segment of the Sped Prep Academy Podcast with my co-host Paul Hubbard!

In today's episode, we discuss a crucial topic that is important for all special education teachers—self-care.

In a profession that demands a high level of emotional and physical commitment, taking time for yourself isn't a luxury; it's a necessity.

Listen in as Paul and I discuss:

• How self-care and self-indulgence are NOT the same thing
• Why special educators need to provide themselves with self-care
• Ways to go about caring for yourself
  • Therapy
  • Talking with a friend
  • Exercise
  • Reflection
  • Enjoying a hobby
  • Reducing screen time

 You'll also learn about Paul's comical analogy on the importance of not keeping stress bottled up.
