Welcome back to the Therapy Thoughts podcast! We've been on hiatus and in 2025, we're back in full swing to bring you no BS mental health related episodes!
In this powerful and personal episode, we sit down with Sara, a brilliant mother, former teacher, and fierce advocate with ALS. This conversation is not just about illness; it's about identity, agency, and resilience in the face of a system that often overlooks disabled bodies and voices.
Sarah shares her journey from being a high school social studies teacher to navigating life with ALS. The importance of patience, presence, and effort in communication, especially when using assistive technology.
Accessibility and inclusion should be mandatory, not optional. Let's create spaces that include everyone and challenge the systems that impact mental health. Sara's wisdom and resilience are a testament to the power of advocacy and the importance of listening and learning from marginalized voices.

Tiffany Roe Episode 58 - Attachment Styles
Attachment styles are hugely influential in our lives as they shape the way we seek relationships with others throughout life. Our styles, secure or insecure, have been greatly influenced by the way we connected to our caregivers in early life. In today’s episode, we talk about the difference between the two styles, their types, and transitioning from an insecure to a secure attachment style. More importantly, I discuss how healing from core attachment wounds can be possible even at a later age.
