DO WHATEVER YOU CAN

 Online classes started at 9 am. First hour was taken by the M.Ed intern. Satyalekha teacher taught us the components of effective classroom communication. In fact her class itself was an example of effective classroom communication! Gibi teacher discussed the scope of Educational Psychology and she introduced us to a new therapy-  Mm-hmm therapy  which really captured our attention and interest. But in reality all of us apply this therapy in others and sometimes to ourselves. While we listen to others we use Mm-hmm, and when we talk about our own emotions we expect others to use this 'mm-hmm'.  Gibi teacher explained the role of id, ego, and superego. When teacher told us about these elements I was wondering that all of us have come across the thoughts that these elements create but we did not know the psychological terms given by Sigmund Freud.  I am sure that this knowledge is going to be immensely useful to all of us as it is going to help us in analysing our own behavior.
