Hi Abby, Thank you for taking the time to share of your experiences here with me. I am so sorry that they have been so difficult and that you too know the world of being told to just think your way out of what is systemic harm and ableism. I too find that most others do not understand when they hold more power and do not have such lived experiences. Our lives are isolating and this itself is not something that CBT can fix or cure for us. Only accessibility will.
