Hi everyone,
I was asked to speak at a nearby high school about my career. They have all sorts of professionals come in to talk about their experience going to high school and getting started with their career. I am a therapist, so obviously I will talk about that. Although I only do a bit of arachnophobia treatment (I'm busy with lots of other stuff, wish I could do more of it!), it was suggested by one of the teachers that I bring in one of my Ts to show the high schoolers.
My idea is to bring in Ramona, my E sp red. If she's still looking pre-molt (as she is now) then I will bring Nigel, my A anax instead (he just molted!). The presentation will be in March and I will talk to 3 different classes. I have a small Kritter Keeper I can put the T in. I plan to keep them in the enclosure the whole time and not take them out. I will have to drive across the city to get there so it will be a bit of a journey, probably about an hour from where the Ts live to the school, maybe even longer with morning traffic.
Any suggestions on what I should or shouldn't do here? I imagine some of you have done educational presentations with your Ts before. I don't want to stress mine out too much in doing this. Also, I don't really like talking in front of big groups so this is some of my own exposure therapy
