One word that many people are afraid of is "therapy." We have this idea that there must be something severely wrong with us if we need therapy. Others don't want people "telling them how they feel." But, the reality is that therapy or counseling can be so beneficial to individuals and families, especially after someone loses their sight. Today we'll discuss four benefits of therapy or counseling PLUS answer a question about wearing sunglasses all the time and discuss why October is so significant to blind and visually impaired people!

When you ask someone who is visually impaired for some good advice, one common thing they will tell you is that "isn't not the end of the world." This statement is true in one sense, but I actually think it disregards the idea that something is coming to an end in your life. In this episode, we'll talk about the idea of certain things coming to a conclusion PLUS a tip on taking notes during a class or meeting.
