Phyllis Fehr is an author, dementia advocate, and a person living with dementia.

In this clip, she describes the moment she received her diagnosis — and how the physician who had been speaking directly to her suddenly shifted her attention and addressed only her husband.

The change was immediate.

Phyllis reflects on how that experience shaped her advocacy, what it revealed about assumptions surrounding dementia, and why a diagnosis should never erase a person’s voice.
