'When you\'re burned out, taking care of yourself (or your family) can feel nearly impossible. Therapist KC Davis gets it, and she\'s got a message for anyone struggling with daily tasks: you\'re not lazy. Care tasks, she says, are neither good nor bad — they\'re morally neutral. Davis offers creative shortcuts and workarounds for everything from using wet wipes when you can\'t manage a shower to sealing dirty dishes in a giant zip-loc until you feel up to washing them. Because regardless of your mental health struggles, you are a person worthy of a functional space.   KC Davis is a licensed professional therapist, author, speaker, and founder of Struggle Care. KC Davis began her therapy journey at 16 when she entered treatment for drug addiction. Today, she teaches a compassionate and practical approach to self & home care for those dealing with mental health, physical illness, and hard seasons of life. Her methodology has attracted 1M+ followers on social media in less than a year. Her Amazon bestselling book, “How to Keep House While Drowning,” has sold 40,000+ copies. KC lives in Houston with her husband and two daughters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
