Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Living with a brain injury and being Misunderstood, Maligned and Manipulated Part 6

October 23, 2010 by Second Chance to Live Leave a Comment

Living with a Brain Injury and Being Misunderstood, Maligned and Manipulated

If you have not already read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9 and Part 10 of this series, please do so to understand the context of Part 7. Thank you.

In my experience, I had to do the necessary grief work before I was able to exchange a lie (that sought to convince me that there was nothing wrong with me other than my inability to try harder or be different) for my truth (that I am a unique individual living with a brain injury, an invisible disability with  limitations who possesses vibrant and viable gifts, talents and abilities that benefit the lives of people who want what I have to give through my life).

In my experience, I had to do the necessary grief work before I could begin to experience the freedom to be who I am. In my experience, I had to do the necessary grief work before I could begin to express my truth as an individual who is living with a brain injury and an invisible disability with unseen limitation.

I have written several articles and series to share what I learned through the process of grieving my losses — that I have spoken about through this series. I will include links to those articles below. Simply click on the title of the article/link and you will be taken to the actual article. As you read through the articles and series and question arise, please feel free to ask those questions. And please remember that all questions are good questions. Here is my Contact Page.
