Topics
Glennon Doyle：我们邀请 Carson Tuller 来节目，不只是为了学习如何成为残疾人和酷儿人士的盟友，更是因为 Carson 已经认识到他的身体是完整和完美的，他可以与我们分享这种身体自由的好消息。讨论残疾就是讨论人类身体的本质，因此它包括了所有人。 Carson Tueller：我对今天能来到这里感到非常感激，并且我可能会在整个过程中非常情绪化，因为 Glennon 说的关于自由的话深深地触动了我。自由是与真实的自我同在的自由。回忆过去那些不自由的时刻，以及当时所承受的痛苦，让我感触很深。我经常出入关于身体问题的“鬼屋”，我会因为健康问题而感到沮丧，并思考如果我没有瘫痪，没有慢性疼痛，生活会是怎样。我已经学会了自由地进出“鬼屋”，然后回到“完整的不完整城堡”。我并没有摆脱“鬼屋”的诀窍，但我知道如何离开那里，有时需要时间，有时需要放松身心。我有离开“鬼屋”的策略，比如和人交谈、写作等。当我受伤时，我决定公开分享我的经历，即使这意味着要暴露自己最脆弱的一面。我不喜欢听到“我战胜了它”的故事，我只想告诉你真相，那就是学习如何在痛苦和快乐中过上强大、自我表达的生活。我关心的是如何在城堡或鬼屋中选择如何展现自己，因为我认为这才是真实的生活。

Deep Dive

Chapters
Carson discusses the pivotal moment when his sister suggested reframing his accident as a rebirth, leading him to challenge the idea of his body being broken and embrace his wholeness. This perspective shift was crucial in his journey toward self-acceptance and recovery.
  • Carson's sister's question: "What if we called that the day of your rebirth?"
  • Reframing the accident as a rebirth changed his perspective.
  • Ableism is the source of suffering, not the disability itself.

About Carson: 

Carson Tueller is a coach, speaker and activist whose work provides people with the tools they need to live authentic, fulfilling, and powerful lives. He identifies as queer and disabled. Carson grew up as a Mormon in a military family moving around a lot before settling in Utah. His own journey into powerful living began in 2013 when, in the same year, he came out, and was then injured in an accident that paralyzed him from the chest down. Since then, Carson has brought his work to international nonprofits and presidential campaigns – and when he isn’t coaching or speaking, Carson can be found at the gym, reading non-fiction, or playing Pokemon with his niece and nephews.
