#209: Dr. Ashley Smith: Anxiety in the Unknown | Psychologist Shares Her Journey in Legal Blindness
Description
This week, I had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Ashley Smith, an award-winning psychologist who transformed her personal challenges into a beacon of hope for others. Her work is driven by a personal journey through a rare vision impairment that has given her deep insight into overcoming adversity and thriving despite challenges. Here are some key points from our discussion:
- She spoke openly about her personal battles with mental health, particularly in the context of her disability.
- Dr. Smith emphasized the importance of balancing mental health awareness with resilience.
- She highlighted the benefits of therapy, describing it as a supportive space where vulnerability and self-reflection can thrive.
- Dr. Smith discussed how our minds use shortcuts to process information quickly, which can sometimes lead to biased or distorted perceptions.
