In this Ted Talk novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie talks about the process of stereotyping. How we pigeonhole people in order to understand or manage them. Psychotherapy is about hearing and legitimising all your stories. But I have my blind spots too, and work on checking with myself that I’m not hearing you in terms of just one aspect of who you are. And at any point, if you experienced being pigeon holed by me I’ll be really up to hearing about this and adjusting my perspective properly.
