January Podcast: A Conversation with "Shakey Amy" Behar Join DLM's Rebekah Willis as we chat with Shakey Amy about living with a movement disorder. During the three episodes we discuss Shakey Amy's experiences as a Dystonian, how she became an advocate and more. Shakey Amy has been working through her website, youtube and direct appearances to increase awareness of Dystonia and provide support for many. For the past several months, she has been recording the varied journeys of people with Dystonia. This exciting and important collection has been compiled and will be published soon in book form. Shakey Amy's experience in the field of mental health allows her to offer indispensable insight into the many aspects of coping and adapting to disability. DLM is thrilled to offer you these podcasts. Shakey Amy's wonderfully lively manner makes even serious talk a pleasure! There are three 15~minute episodes in the January series, so you'll want to listen in chronological order (or, on this page 3,2,1). Select the green play button on #3 when using the player below.
