  • No one will care or love you, are you sure about that?

    No one will care or love you, are you sure about that?
    Feb 18 2024
    Today we have the honor of listening to a wonderful lady share her memories as a child growing up and how her disability affected how her family perceived and reacted toward her disability. We will talk about how she felt being treated by her family and how she navigated learning to accept herself and her disability, her coping skills, and how she helped to shift the perception of how to deal with disability while loving yourself. Please keep in mind that I am not a medical professional. If you are having any thoughts at all of harming yourself, I would encourage you to please seek mental health attention from your healthcare provider.
