Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Category — Building Self-Esteem after a Brain Injury — List of Articles

Scroll down this page below my perspective for a list of links to articles. Click on the article title and the article will open for you.


My Perspective

Self-esteem is slowly stripped away following a brain injury. The individual often find that their relationships have changed. The relationship they had with people and the relationship that they had with themselves. What was once familiar, may now seem foreign. What was once a way to build a sense of self may no longer work. As a result the individual living with a brain injury may have a difficult time relating to themselves and to other people. Articles in this category are written to help the individual living with a brain injury to re-build a relationship with themselves.

In the process of rebuilding a relationship with ourselves we gain a sense of self. In the process, we create our new sense of what it means to esteem ourselves. As we build a relationship with ourselves and gain a sense of self we gain the power to follow our dreams. Follow our dreams in ways that work for us. In the process we learn how to relate to other people in ways that work for us. In the process, we build self-esteem. Although our relationships may have changed, we discover the value of having a relationship with ourselves.

Below is a list of articles in which I share information that helped me to build my self-esteem. What helped me to build a relationship with myself following my brain injury.
