Recreational Therapist: Elizabeth Terry’s Story With Narcolepsy - Rising Voices Ep. 9

Elizabeth Terry is a lifelong “Hoosier,” Indiana University graduate, and recreational therapist. Diagnosed with type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy while in college in 2015, she became a trained speaker through Project Sleep’s Rising Voices program in 2018. By sharing her story, Elizabeth continues to build awareness for this misunderstood neurological condition and encourages others to do the same.

The Rising Voices Series features a variety of first-hand stories from people living with sleep disorders around the world. At Project Sleep, we believe in the power of storytelling to raise awareness and break down stigma. This is why we train people with sleep disorders on how to share their stories through the Rising Voices training program.
