In this video, I'm breaking down the burden narrative and challenging perfectionism as a disabled person.
Disability is often seen as a burden to be carried by nondisabled individuals, and I, for one, use perfectionism as a way to try and meet this burden. But what if the burden is not really ours to carry? What if the concept of burden is more reflective of the narratives our world uses about disability? In this video I start to break down my own internalized ableism in order to help me combat crippling perfectionism.
