They have no story to tell without me. \u003cbr\u003eEvery day I go home. Sit on the couch and remove them from my body. They stand there, still as a statue, and wait for me to open my mouth. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this revelatory collection of lyrical essays, Therese Estacion explores a number of vital themes relating to her life as a disabled person. Defying genre and constraint, Estacion conveys how ableism has impacted her disposition and self-esteem. She also confronts her own internalized ableism and unpacks how she has come to terms with disability in all its complexity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJelly, Baby\u003c\/em\u003e fearlessly uncovers the trauma, grief, and rage inherent to the struggle to accept one’s own vulnerability and reach a place of love. Inspired by the author’s psychotherapy training, this book is a tender examination of some of the most vulnerable aspects of the self, and a head-on challenge of self-loathing. The result is a beautiful and astute meditation on ableism and a transformative journey deep into the psyche. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback | 88 pages | 5.25\" x 8.00\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Therese Estacion (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47941414453480,"sku":"9781771669641x","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0386\/5896\/5549\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c9d757c5-42d2-42b2-aa74-cbdaf8d24156.jpg?v=1767558660","url":"https:\/\/typebooks.live\/products\/9781771669641","provider":"TYPE Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
