Second Chance to Live

Empowering the Individual, Not the Brain Injury

Category — Celebrating Success following 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

Following a brain injury, an individual’s abilities and capabilities may have changed. What once came naturally to them, may now be a struggle. As a result, celebrating the success once gained through those abilities and capabilities may be out of reach. As a consequence, we may be led to believe that our efforts are not worth celebrating. But that is simply not the case. Although we may not be able to do what we used to, we can learn to excel in ways that work for us.

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still, I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” Helen Keller

In my experience, I ran into one wall after another, despite my diligent efforts. As a result, I had a difficult time celebrating my success’s. Through my struggle, I discovered that I needed to change the way in which I measured success. A way that would empower both my dreams and my life. As you read my articles and watch my video presentations in this category may you also be empowered. Empowered to measure your successes in a new way.

In a way that will empower you to celebrate both your dreams and your life.

“If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams and endeavor to live the life that you have imagined…you will meet with a success, unexpected in common hours.” Henry David Thoreau

Below is a list of articles that contain information that helped me to begin to celebrate the success I was making following my brain injury. Simply scroll down the list and click on the article title. By clicking on the article title, the article will open for you on Second Chance to Live.

The Importance of Spirit, Soul and Emotions in Brain Injury Recovery

“Sunrise over the ocean viewed from inside a wooden boat with a steering wheel. Title reads ‘The Importance of Spirit, Soul and Emotions in Ongoing Brain Injury Recovery.’ A glowing head silhouette with a heart and brain network highlights qualities such as awareness, trust, discernment, healing, wholeness, resilience, integration, and meaning. Signs read ‘Mind,’ ‘Body,’ and ‘Spirit, Soul and Emotions.’ A stone reads ‘Not driven by fear. Guided by discernment. Living in wholeness.’ The image includes the Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ and the name Craig J. Phillips MRC, BA.”

Illustration titled, "What happens when support systems encounter human complexity that they do not readily understand, integrate, or support?" On the left, a colorful human face and interconnected threads represent ambiguity, vulnerability, emotion, layered meaning, non-linear communication, relational complexity, and correction. On the right, a structured blue-toned environment shows a brain, professionals, and symbols for manageability, coherence, speed, stabilization, completion, and procedural efficiency. A bridge and puzzle piece connect the two sides, symbolizing the encounter between human complexity and support systems. The image includes Craig J. Phillips, MRC, BA, Second Chance to Live, and The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™.
