Reaction to Ted Talk on Overcoming Adversity

The important thing to remember when learning about various neurological disorders is that those "disorders" are attached to people. These people may be strong, smart, kind, funny, healthy, or capable, but they are much more than a disorder. As future therapists, we must keep in mind that our clients are not broken, disabled people. How we address our clients and their needs  will be how they view themselves and their diagnosis. We must equip the client with the right mindset and grit to tackle their obstacle head-on and not let it define them.
