But they cannot speak. They have no story to tell without me.\u003cbr\u003e Every 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\/p\u003e \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 \u003cp\u003eJelly, Baby 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","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137439613097,"sku":"PHBK-9781771669641","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/21740193482818.jpg?v=1780326077","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/jelly-baby-essays-on-disability-and-vulnerability","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
