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. Feelings are meant to be felt, that’s why they’re called feelings. Our emotions are the source of our superpowers, It’s time for a mental health rebellion. Will you join her?
