About this listen

 The text explores the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in a world designed for others, highlighting how physical, cognitive, or emotional abnormalities can create barriers to connection. It emphasizes that living with a disability often leads to social exile, not just due to physical barriers but also subtle differences that cause distance from others. The author advocates for understanding this isolation as a transitional space for resilience and adaptation, viewing the journey of rebuilding human connection as a complex, ongoing process that goes beyond formal therapy, aiming to reconnect in spirit and essence.
