- 13:07Kendine İyi ''Bak'' | Bedriye Hülya | TEDxİzmir Atatürk LisesiKendine iyi ''bak’', yüzeyde basit bir veda sözü gibi görünse de, içinde ihmal edilen benliğe dair derin bir çağrı barındırır. Bedriye Hülya turizm, tekstil, yeme içme sektörlerinde şirketler kurmuş bir seri girişimci iken 38 yaşında ABD'de psikoloji okuma hayalini gerçekleştirmek için kariyerine ara verene kadar olan mücadelelerinin çoğunun cinsiyet eşitsizliklerinden ve erkek egemen bir alanda kadın olmaktan kaynaklandığını fark etti. ABD'deki yaşam tarzını keşfederken, kadınlara özel spor salonları konseptiyle karşılaştı ve bu da b-fit fikri için ilham sağladı. Bu merkezlerin hiçbirinin temel yaklaşımlarında kadınların güçlendirilmesi fikrini gerçekten yaymadığını fark ederek, yenilik yapmaya karar verdi ve kadın arkadaşları ile yeni bir model yarattılar. Bu modelle kadınların bedenleri ve kendileri ile egzersiz aracılığı ile ilişki kurarken bir yandan da iş kurmaları ve çalışmaları için önayak oldular. Daha sonra çocukların hareket etmesi ve bedenlerini kullanmayı öğrenmesi için ortağı ile Muzipo Kids’i kurdu. Klinik Psikoloji’de doktora yapmış olan Bedriye Hülya halen üniversitelerde psikoloji ile ilgili Organizasyonel Psikoloji, Feminist Terapi, Kişilik Kuramları gibi dersler vermekte ve bir yandan da bireysel ve grup terapileri yapmaktadır. Çalışan kadınlara, iş hayatındaki engellerin farkına varmak ve azaltmak amacıyla psikolojik beceriler öğretmek için başladığı grup çalışmaları devam etmekte ve Türkiye’ye yayılması için uğraşmaktadır.
