Name
46726 - To Mask or Not to Mask - Perspectives from Lived Experiences with cPTSD and a Neuro-atypical brain
Date
Thursday, November 20, 2025
Time
3:00 PM - 3:10 PM (EST)
Description
I would like to challenge conventional thinking as it relates to psychological masking by sharing stories from my lived experiences. I will challenge the audience to consider who is actually doing the masking and my perspectives on the impact to myself. I will introduce a metaphor of how I at times have lived my life as a chipmunk in regard to the autonomic nervous system. Does the chipmunk wear a mask or do those who interact with the chipmunk wear a mask so that they can observe it?
