You say Interestingly microaggressions and the damage they do (though they used another term which escapes me right now) were one of the things covered in the CBT module of my recent pain management course. I've spent several sessions too many trying to teach my therapist what microagressions are. I would adore a reference if available. The concept of "microaggression" is exceptionally useful. That some aspects of my impairments make me specifically less capable of handling them is frustrating.
Fortunately I encountered "intersectionality" and "cross-disability coalition" while I was still identifying as nondisabled; those ideas certainly made my view of the world more acute. On the other hand, it provided more options for anger. And on another toe, I could look for wisdom for living with that anger from a range of cultures that handle incessant oppression.
