Listen as we talk about the language we use in the chronic illness communities - how it effects our reality, thoughts, and emotions. Kevin discusses how the words we use effect our relationships and what it means to know we have a name for paticular chronic illnesses.
What is the edge? How do we benefit from approaching the edge? What does Sky Diving have to do with the edge?
Pay attention as we discuss the language used in the CMT community, the language CMT non-profits and doctors use in comparision with data concerning movement or exercise as a treatment for Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. We talk about different knowings and how those need to come together to reach better understandings.
