What is Ableist Oppression?

Have you ever been told to “get over it,” or “look on the bright side,” or “it could’ve been worse,” or that the person you’re grieving “wouldn’t want you to feel this way?” Join Dr. Scarlet as she explains what she calls “Ableist Oppression” and how well intentioned friends and family can unintentionally become an oppressor to people going through a trauma or mental illness.
