We meet David, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist who works with people with learning disabilities. He explains some of the history of the way people with learning disabilities have been treated by our society and how that continues to have an impact on individuals’ lives and freedoms, highlighted recently by the disproportionate effect of Covid 19 on this population. He explains how he works with people and their carers and the importance of offering space and time to help understand painful feelings.
