家は場所ではなく、実践である

ポジティブ心理学の実践者であり研究者でもあるパトリシア・フリーバーグ氏が、アメリカ国内やスイスなどへの度重なる引っ越しを通じて「家庭」と感じられる場所をどう築くかを語ります。山火事からの避難経験にも触れながら、家とは場所ではなく実践によって生まれるものだと主張します。研究と自身の経験に基づき、あらゆる移行期を居場所に変えるための四つの実践を紹介しています。この講演はTEDxColumbianaで行われたものです。

What if home isn't a place—but a practice? After multiple cross-country and international moves, evacuating wildfires, and rebuilding belonging again and again, Patricia Friberg shares four practices—rooted in research and lived experience—that transform any transition into a place to call home: find your people, celebrate customs old and new, appreciate the local environment, and contribute to your community. Change is constant—but we can grow through it. An artist-scholar at heart, Patricia Richardson Friberg is a positive psychology practitioner, researcher, and wellness leader whose work explores how creative arts practices enhance relational well-being, psychological safety, and human flourishing. A Doctoral Candidate at Middlesex University, she is academically published and presents at conferences including IPPA. She holds Master's degrees in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology (UEL) and Art Therapy and Creativity Development (Pratt Institute). A Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, her career spans a decade in community mental health and a decade in health club management—a synthesis that fuels her current research. She coached Ukrainian war refugees with the ICF Foundation, hosts the podcast 'Learned It From an 80s Song,' and trained at Second City's Improv Conservatory. Having made home across the U.S., Switzerland, and beyond, Patricia lives with curiosity, love of learning, and belief in shared humanity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
