One type of unexamined trauma is the trauma of disabled people being completely ignored. The pandemic has exacerbated this ten times over. Asking for safety from the medical field or those around us and being ignored. Asking for basic needs and being ignored. Our anger is valid.
If you’re in need of help with trauma from a disabled therapist who is certified in EMDR and live in California only, I’m taking some clients. You can email me at BrianaMills.com. 🫶🏻
@theBrianaMills Absolutely it is valid. We must keep fighting.
@theBrianaMills I❤️how my couples therapist is "ask for what U need. Be more assertive! SO isn't going anywhere." (We are there b/c I asked SO to mask. I am immunocompromised) Therapist: "You need to learn to agree to disagree. Where can you compromise?" Idk, bob? Where? Assertive or Compromise?
@theBrianaMills @rdcarpetcupcake Disabled people who are non verbal are also being shunned by society. I see it with my son. He has value he is loved and he has changed the lives of his parents for the better
@theBrianaMills Feeling abandoned/isolated or those things popping up more as a result of everyone and everything around us "goes back to normal" while we get forgotten after having a taste of the way things could/should be.
@theBrianaMills I started sharing anger a bit more in the past few years & it’s (weird? Interesting? Scary?) how people really think it’s an unacceptable thing to share.
