🙄 "Everyone has lived experience" (Rants/Advice Needed)
Hey everyone, I need to vent a little and get some perspective.
I was recently chatting with an Exec Director about my work. We were talking about professionalising lived experience, they made a comment, "Well, everyone has lived experience."
It made me felt like my expertise was just patted on the head and dismissed. It’s like telling a professional chef "everyone eats food." Technically true, but totally misses the point of the skill involved.
Has anyone else dealt with this? Let's open up some raw conversation:
- How do you explain the difference to people who "don't get it"?
- Is it even worth trying to educate an ED who thinks like this?
- What are your experiences, the good and bad?
