What you need to know about TBI
Traumatic Brain Injuries are known as “invisible” injuries and affect a lot of athletes.
I was an avid athlete before TBI. It wasn't until I began to research brain injury that I began to understand how detrimental this issue is for so many young kids. They "look" fine, but aren't. That's why I've placed much of my focus on helping TBI-affected athletes and their families.
This "invisibility" is also why lots of doctors and health professionals that are overseeing the recovery process of TBI individuals do not see the problems. I talk about this in my book Heal Your TBI and have designed a fool-proof method for better communication with my third book: The Concussion Conversation Starter.
Learning to ask the right questions and the information available for potential treatments becomes much more apparent. In my book, Heal Your TBI, I teach you how to identify and recognize hidden symptoms that are in need of attention.. I can help you formulate those questins quickly.
Alone. Constantly confused, emotional and frustrated
This is what it feels like to live within the fog of a traumatic brain injury. Simple addition can become impossible, stuttering can make a person feel inept, and loss of balance can make you or your TBI-affected family member want to throw in the towel. But I've been there, and know how to get out of the fog and into the light.
Interaction, reassurance, understanding and validation are the first steps.
You could do this alone and it may take years like it did me. WHY NOT take a short cut? Let's talk.
