The TBRI Podcast

We’re wrapping up season 1 of the TBRI Podcast with a conversation with Dr. David Cross all about the origins of TBRI and the history of the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development. https://child.tcu.edu/podcast-s01-e08/ 

On this episode, we continue our front porch conversation with Daren Jones and Troy McPeak. In this episode Daren and Troy talk about the progression of using TBRI professionally to its impact on personal relationships and family life, as well as Troy's experience using TBRI in the juvenile justice setting.

This episode is the first of a two-part conversation with Daren Jones and Troy McPeak. Daren is the Associate Director of Outreach at the KPICD, and Troy is the Associate Director of the Texas Model with the Texas Juvenile Justice Department. A few months ago Daren and Troy sat down to talk about their TBRI journeys.  If you’ve joined us for other episodes, you may have picked up on the theme that for many of us there’s a “before TBRI” and an “after TBRI moment” in our lives. Over the years we’ve had conversations around this theme with caregivers, parents, and TBRI Practitioners, and we’re excited to bring some of those discussions to the podcast. Today is the first of what we hope will be many “front porch” conversations about trust-based relationships. Daren and Troy talk about how they were both “voluntold” to attend TBRI Training through the Institute, and how that experience has shaped the way they see the world, their work with vulnerable children and youth, and also how they reflect on their own histories.  For linked references from this episode, visit child.tcu.edu/podcast

Dr. David Cross is the co-founder and Rees-Jones Director of our Institute and also the co-creator of TBRI, so it was extra special to have him on the podcast. This episode is a great overview of the TBRI Empowering Principles. Dr. Cross gives a little history of the Empowering Principles and their place in TBRI, and touches on everything from self-regulation to meeting sensory needs, to transitions, and some of the newer developments of the TBRI Empowering Principles.

This episode is all about one of the topics we're asked about most often: Attachment.

Amanda Purvis, a Training Specialist at the Institute, talks with the host about the impact of trauma on children's brains, bodies, biology, and belief systems. They discuss how trauma affects behavior, the link between trauma and biology, the impact of early childhood trauma on sensory processing and behavior, and the importance of understanding trauma's impact on children.
