    LIVE with The Famous Dr AL and Dr. Bibi Pirayesh
    Jan 9 2025
    Guest: Dr. Bibi Pirayesh, Educational Therapist and Advocate Host: Dr. Allen Lycka Dr. Bibi Pirayesh, a prominent educational therapist with over 15 years of experience, joins the show. With degrees in Neuroscience, Education, Developmental Psychology, and a Doctorate from Loyola Marymount, Dr. Bibi is a leader in the fields of education, psychology, and social justice. Early Career and Inspiration How Dr. Bibi Got Involved in Education, Psychology, and Social Justice Dr. Bibi shares how her own experiences in K-12 education left her feeling dissatisfied with the educational system, sparking her interest in understanding how learning happens. Initially drawn to scientific research, she later realized the need to contextualize learning within historical, political, and social frameworks. Advocacy for Learning Disabilities Defining Learning Disabilities Dr. Bibi discusses how her career path shifted when she started working with children with learning disabilities. Her research confirmed that the current educational system is too narrow and requires reform to accommodate various learning styles. Disability as a Social Construct Dr. Bibi contrasts traditional medical definitions of disability with her view of it as a social construct. She argues that societal systems often disable individuals rather than inherent issues in a person’s brain or body. Cultural Perception of Disability Challenging Cultural Norms The discussion shifts to the societal stigma around the term "disability." Dr. Bibi explains that cultural perceptions often reinforce the idea of a "perfect" body or mind, contributing to a harmful hierarchy where people are measured against this standard. Neuroscience and Education Neuroscience and Brain Plasticity Dr. Bibi explains the concept of brain plasticity and how it challenges traditional beliefs about intelligence. Neuroscience research has shown that the brain can rewire and adapt, offering new possibilities for learning and rehabilitation. However, this requires consistent and intentional effort. Radical Love and Social Justice Radical Love and its Role in Education Dr. Bibi introduces the concept of "radical love," which focuses on community-based relationships rather than individual competition. She challenges the traditional "survival of the fittest" mindset, advocating for a more connected and compassionate approach to education. Education as Political Activism Dr. Bibi encourages educators and therapists to see themselves as political activists, working to interrogate and reform educational systems to create true equity. Personal Insights on Living a Fantastic Life Finding Passion and Purpose Dr. Bibi emphasizes the importance of following one's passions and working in a field that provides personal fulfillment. She highlights how this has contributed to her own happiness and sense of purpose. Engagement with Life Her advice for living a fantastic life centers on staying engaged with the world, avoiding distractions, and actively participating in meaningful work and relationships. Advice to Younger Generations Trusting Yourself When asked what advice she would give her younger self, Dr. Bibi stresses the importance of trusting oneself and not letting societal pressures or anxieties derail personal growth.
