Learning Conversations: Glimpsing Hope with Leisa Aitken
Description
In this episode, host Lyndal Tait speaks with Leisa Aitken and Inaburra Principal Dr James Pietsch about hope – what we understand it to be and how we can build greater hope in our own lives and in the lives of young people. The conversation explores the ways hope is seen in our coping and waiting, in our capacity to see meaningful possibilities, and in the ‘glimpses’ which speak to realities that transcend the limitations of self and current circumstances.
Leisa is a Clinical Psychologist with a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) and Masters in Psychology (Clinical) from UNSW. She has done further training in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), a type of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which she has found extremely useful, both personally and professionally. Her post graduate training has also been in Bowen Family Systems Theory which explores couple relationships, parent child interactions, and most importantly, looking at how all of these individual relationships are part of a much bigger whole. Leisa finds this to be a wonderful framework for looking at the complexity of how relationships impact us.
