Episode description
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses sensitive topics, including medical trauma and neglect. Listener discretion is advised.
In this episode, we dive into Ghost Boy, the powerful memoir by Martin Pistorius. This inspiring story follows Martin’s journey from being trapped in his own body, unable to communicate, to finding his voice again. We explore the book’s themes, its impact on the world of speech-language pathology, and the lessons we can take away as clinicians and advocates.
