It's a listener story!! 😍 Bron is joined by Kaedee who generously shares their journey to registration while managing complex chronic health conditions and working with a visible aid. Kaedee shares personal experiences of living with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, gastric dysmotility, and other health issues, discussing the impact on their career and identity. We talk about self-disclosure and the need for accommodations for mental health clinicians with diverse needs. Such an insightful convo, thanks so much Kaedee! ✨🌈
