Recognizing Self-Stigma

In this episode, Wafa, Ariba, and Iqra talk all about self-stigma, how to recognize it, and how to work towards combating it. Self-stigma can occur when one begins to internalize the stigma we often witness in our environment. It can affect how we think of ourselves, our relationship with others, or even get in the way of our recovery.
