Living with Long covid Communication- I have a voice!
On this episode I talk about communication, the importance of having a voice and how Long Covid may impact on our communication.
I discuss the various methods and restrictions of communication, how having my voice distortion has effected the person I once was, before the pandemic.
I reflect on what I have learnt during my career as a carer and a nurse and methods I have used to support people with communications needs.
Ultimately I feel you can't truly understand how it feels until you live with a certain condition, challenge, disability or situation. The lived experience is often undervalued but has the most enriched knowledge share.
I encourage people living with Long Covid or any other conditions which effects communication to find their voice in any format they can, to be heard using any adaptation needed. I urge society to take a moment to consider how they would feel in this situation, learning to live a very different life to the one previously known, to talk to people they know, colleagues, friends and loved ones and not top ignore, dismiss or disbelieve them, making their voices smaller. I have a voice, you have a voice, we can and will be heard.
I hope you enjoy this episode, as always please take care
