Hey there out in cripland and disability island, a question: have any of y'all ever heard of a therapist also living with a significant disability of their own? Been trying to find such a beast in the wild, and, well, I'm sort of shocked. Like, zip. Asking for lots of friends.

Having known a lot of folks in the mental health field, I think there’s a significant problem in the training that feeds into ableism (and classism and racism).
I’ve learned most of those on my own though. And then down group discussions with other disabled folks and thought about/applied the DBT skills during those discussions.
You?
(Ex: grief therapy worked well when general didn’t)
