Hey hey! I'm Dr. Brooks. I help 2nd through 12th graders who desire to grow in their emotional resilience and resolve social problems.
I interact with students face-to-face via a Zoom-like video room to teach and troubleshoot their personal challenges. We play games, have fun, and learn a lot.

I'm a resilience educator with a PhD in social psychology. I've been helping kids like you mange their emotions and solve their social problems longer than you've been alive. (25 years now!)
I've literally spoken to over 2 MILLION students in-person, face-to-face. That's over 3,000 speeches and enough sky-miles to go to travel to the moon. (238,900+ miles)
My online training videos have had more than 300 million views and translated in 20 different languages. That's almost 3,000 years of watch time (if you add up all the minutes).
My coaching sessions last 60 minutes. You have two options to choose from:
We will meet weekly and work hard to make sure your problem is solved... for good. The skills you will learn along the way can be applied to solve future problems.
TOO MUCH TO LIST... but I'll jot down a very brief overview of the core ideas I teach.
Please note: our first session will pinpoint the main problem you are looking to solve.
Are you hurt?
Students learn that nonverbal direct aggression (pushing, tripping, gesturing that doesn't cause pain) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the provocation. They will learn how to build up their physical resilience by expanding their tolerance towards physical provocations.
Is it true?
Students learn that verbal indirect aggression (rumors/gossip/trolling) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the behavior. They will learn how gossip feeds on their upsetness, and how to "kill the gossip" by "starving it to death."
What else can you do?
In this lesson, students learn that nonverbal indirect aggression (avoiding, ignoring, and excluding) can only cause subjective harm, based on their interpretation of the exclusion. They will learn the sociological value of exclusion and why it's important to preserve resources and values.
How could this turn out for your good?
Students learn how to improve their mood from "indifferent meh" to "optimistic glad". They will learn how to see the good in every bad and view themselves as advantageous for enduring the negative event. Optimistic thinking will be introduced.
Are they bothering you?
Students learn the intention behind aggression, with this first part focused on "bothering, provoking, and psychological domination." They will learn the sociological value of domination and how to avoid being dominated when they don't want to be. They will be introduced to "the law of reciprocity" and learn how to use that law to their advantage through "The Golden Rule". The key phrase to remember will be "Don't get upset, treat them like a friend."
Are they hurt by you?
Students learn the intention behind aggression, with this third part focused on "hurting and victimization". They will learn the sociological value of emotional pain and how to empathize with others, seeking to comfort them. They will be introduced to the four types of ineffective apologies and taught how to effectively apologize without shifting blame or making excuses. The key phrase to remember will be "Don't get upset and apologize."
Are you upset with yourself, others, or life?
Students need to realize that their emotional suffering is directly connected to their rigid and demanding belief system. Becoming flexible in the follow areas provides a tremendous amount of emotional relief:
12. Are you viewing things clearly?
Sometimes we have a distorted viewpoint and needlessly suffer. Students learn how to "clean their thinking" so that they see reality as it is, and not how they "think" it is. These distortions include:
