I am doing pretty darn well. I talked with Kerri, a PTA, physical Therapist Aide, at Neuroworx about my TBI. she has one of the brightest and most contagious smiles . Her cousin is recovering from a TBI and she was curious about my coping skills and any other differences I was dealing with post accident. It was nice to talk to her as I learned about her experience with her cousin as well as her work as an aide in a near by hospital with other TBI patients. I discovered that most of her interaction with them lead her to ask me about coping skills. She said that, "they are usually disconnected and withdrawn or aggressive, irratable and not aware of normal social boundaries. But you do not seem to have problems. Do you notice a change?" Yes, I do. Considering where I could be, I am happy to be where I am at.
With my training on Candeo, I am learning about detox and how the brain deals with addictions as well as change, neuroplastisity. very kewl stuff for me, the Psych geek. Not to shrug off any of my imperfections, but to help me to have patience with myself. That may not sound profound, but to me it is. I find that as I am kinder with myself hope replaces anger and fear.
