Finding the right classroom on your first day of classes, entering the wrong classroom, rushing to your next class in a building a hundred meters away from you etc.. These scenarios might have been insignificant before the pandemic, but when we talk about these moments today, they make us nostalgic. What happens when factos outside our control force us to adapt to a completely different learning structure?

Sa Labas ng Classroom (Outside the Classroom)S1EP11: Sa Loob ng Classroom Part 2: Art, Mental Health, and Other ThingsDigression is defined as a temporary departure from the main subject in speech or writing. Hearing familiar sense of humor after months of silence is healing in itself. As said by Grenville Kleiser, "Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment."
This episode continues to feature my laugher-filled conversation with Mickey Espino as we talk about a wide range of things - from art...2020-10-2640 min

Sa Labas ng Classroom (Outside the Classroom)S1EP09: Spirituality and Psychology"Spirituality is a brave search for the truth about existence, fearlessly peering into the mysterious nature of life." - Elizabeth Lesser
One of the topics people tend to avoid is spirituality. Maybe it's because of the fear of conflict or misunderstanding. Maybe there is a certain level of peace in the experience of 'not knowing' and 'not understanding' something beyond one's existence. Still, talking about things outside one's comfort zone can be liberating and can contribute to a deeper and more meaningful self-discovery.
In this second episode with Ms. Rennyvonne Ledesma, I am amazed at h...2020-09-2454 min
Sa Labas ng Classroom (Outside the Classroom)S1EP08: From Board Exams to Practitioners: A Discussion between PsychologistsThe number of mental health practitioners is significantly lower than other professionals such as accountants, engineers, and nurses. The number of psychologists you may have in your social circle is, essentially, another low statistic. Lastly, the chance to meet a psychologist whom you can have a 5 hour conversation seems to be improbable. Don't worry, this episode is less than an hour :)
However, I am lucky and grateful to have met my guest for this episode. Rennyvonne Ledesma is a Registered Psychologist, a Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach, a Reiki Practitioner, a Sacred Cacao Ceremony Facilitator, an experienced...2020-09-1743 min

Collaboration is defined as 'the action of working with someone to produce or create something.' Moreover, collaboration, as distinguished from cooperation, coordination and collective activity, is defined as a continued and conjoined effort towards elaborating a “joint problem space” of shared representations of the problem to be solved (Baker, 2015). In relation to human resources, Roberts et. al. (2016) stated that effective collaboration may help organisations optimise their human resources. With these statements, how can collaboration help the field of psychology in the...2020-09-0648 min

Sa Labas ng Classroom (Outside the Classroom)S1EP04: Balancing Act 101: The Life of a Working StudentStudents are expected to do their best in school. However, not all students are given the privilege to solely focus on homework and projects. Being involved in extra-curricular activities may even be out of the question. Having been a part of the academe, I have seen how students cope and manage different struggles, but I found myself in awe when I encountered working students. Their determination to juggle their studies and work motivated me to make my lessons as relatable as possible, highlighting the importance of how their actions reflect their values and belief systems outside the classroom.
