Brian and Ed welcome Best Selling Author, Psycho-Therapist, Spin Coach, and all around great gal Rebecca Alexander to the That Real Blind Tech show Virtual Studio.

 

We begin at the beginning as where else would you begin? We start off discussing when Rebecca was initially diagnosed with a vision loss. Rebecca then tells us about the very serious accident she had that changed her life at the age of 18. We discuss Rebecca’s uber competitive drive which helps her deal with a lot of what she has over come.

 

We then discuss a passion of Rebecca’s, spin class and working out. Ironic as you won’t find any of the Hosts of That Real Blind Tech show with 10 miles of a gym.  

 

 

 

We then dive in to Rebecca’s work as a Psycho Therapist.  We discuss some of the obstacles she has faced, dealing with deaf blind and blind patients, and discuss why so many people feel shame when dealing with loss.

 

We wonder if a macho character like Tony soprano regularly seeing a therapist has helped society evolve and lessen the stigma of seeing a therapist.

 

We ask Rebecca if she is able to share some of the more humorous things she has heard over the years. 

 

We then dive in to what made Rebecca want to share her very personal story with the world in her book Not Fade Away.  And what it has been like anticipating the book hitting the big or streaming screen. 

 

Rebecca then offers some advice to anyone who has been thinking about sharing their life story in print. 

 

Having accomplished so much, we had to find out what is up next for Rebecca. 

 

You can keep up with Rebecca on Instagram,  on Twitter,  on Facebook, on the  web, and for therapy you can find her and her services here. 

 

We will be releasing a fully transcribed version of this interview in the coming days.
