When working with clients facing profound life transitions or physical challenges, finding the balance between validation and challenge is crucial for maintaining the therapeutic alliance. In honor of Disability Pride Month (July), we explore how to navigate these sensitive waters and empower clients to find resilience and meaning in adversity.
In this powerful episode of The Mental Health Toolbox, Patrick Martin, LCSW, speaks with Michael Musgrove, LCSW, a therapist whose life was irrevocably changed at age 17 by a broken neck and spinal cord injury. Now quadriplegic and wheelchair-bound for 45 years, Michael shares his extraordinary journey of turning profound suffering into a superpower. He offers a unique dual perspective—combining his clinical expertise as an LCSW with his decades of lived experience—on thriving despite overwhelming obstacles.
