Learning how to navigate your mental health after a spinal cord injury can be one of the most difficult things after becoming paralyzed. Whether you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, you're not alone. Going through such a traumatic event that is so life-changing can take years, if not a lifetime, to come to terms with. Tiffiny is joined by four guests with their own mental health journeys to share, including a psychologist with paralysis who has some genuine insight you do not want to miss.
