Hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest psychologist Dr. Jude Black discuss the painful social and emotional challenges faced by individuals with disabilities.
Challenging negative thought patterns
Individuals trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts may not accurately perceive how others see them. Examining these internal beliefs can create space for change.
The importance of education and advocacy
Proactive steps, like openly discussing one’s disability and engaging in difficult conversations, can help reduce stigma and promote understanding.
Small steps toward big change
Focus on consistent, achievable actions. This can build confidence, help dismantle internal barriers, and demonstrate capabilities to others.
