Millions of people with disability suffer trauma caused by social, workplace, medical or public discrimination. It is estimated that in the United States 19% of the population has disability and this does not include chronic illnesses such as 11% suffering from chronic pain and another 17.6% from severe chronic pain, nor those suffering from long term autoimmune diseases, metabolic disorders, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, diabetes, depression, anxiety or bipolar mental health challenges and other progressive disorders.In addition to the above, many suffer from internalized ableism that makes them feel unworthy, not able to overcome their challenges, not loved and understood by family, friends, co workers and thus have difficulty with their life’s purpose. This type of trauma can benefit from therapy to manage the stress of the discrimination, or its effect on relationships and how to advocate for their needs.
