About this episode

The episode discusses how to communicate respectfully with individuals in recovery and highlights unhelpful remarks to avoid.

This week we're talking about how to avoid unhelpful and disrespectful remarks to people in recovery, many of which say more about the person asking than they do about whoever happens to be the object of their enquiry. A buffalo receives a reprieve due to his resemblance to a US president, and a wheelchair user gets an unwelcome shock, almost literally. I got the title of the episode wrong in my recorded introduction so, sorry about that if you feel you've been misled. https://www.grahamlan...
