Are You Getting ‘Stuck In A Box’ By Your Diagnosis?

Listen to “Are You Getting ‘Stuck In A Box’ By Your Diagnosis?” on Spreaker.

Patient advocate and friend Kristal Kent joined me, host Sharon Sayler to talk about how we can intentionally and unintentionally get siloed or put in easy-to-label boxes.’ When Kristal and I get together, it’s a free-flowing conversation about our wellness journey, the thrivers’ mindset, and advocacy. This time we got off on a rift about how labels and silos/boxes can hamper our wellness journey; just some of what we chat about is:
• Moving past a siloed medical mentality,
• Steering clear of allowing your identity to be wrapped up by your diagnosis,
• Recognizing medical and or ‘disabled’ ‘gaslighting’ when it’s happening,
• How this common stereotyping can harm our wellness and well-being if we don’t stay mindful of the dilemma, plus so much more…
