Welcome to season 3 friends! Today we are interviewing with an amazing therapist who shares about her passion for starting conversations around the historically (but fortunately changing!) "taboo" topic of menstruation. This therapist is choosing to remain anonymous and currently works in pediatrics where she found a lack of conversation and education for her clients. We shared an honest discussion about her aims with continuing the conversation and hopefully presenting at AOTA to continue this conversation to a much wider scope.
