Sickboy

Dating a Psychologist with Cerebral Palsy (It’s a Mindf*ck)


Listen Later

What do you do when you’re born with a brain-body communication glitch?. If you’re Dr. Dan, you don't just "manage". You go out and collect a PhD, a Paralympic gold medal in table tennis, and a career as a dating coach just to keep things interesting. This week, the fellas sit down with the legendary Dr. Dan to talk about life with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. Dan gets real about the "Super Crip" pressure to be ten times better than everyone else just to be seen as equal. But the real meat is in the mindset. As a psychologist and author of The Confidence Equation, Dan breaks down the "veil of misperception," the toxic trap of Instagram comparisons, and why your self-doubt is actually just a bunch of external voices living rent-free in your head.
