Living with the impact or a brain injury, traumatic or acquired, can leave the individual with a feeling of helplessness. Helpless, with the thinking that their “lives” are over and they no longer matter to anyone, including themselves. So, they may ask, “what’s the point?”
In the process of their feeling helpless to do anything different, the individual may develop what is called, a learned helplessness. In the process they may begin to believe that they are “stuck”. Believing that they are a victim of life and their particular set of circumstances.
In this presentation I share what helped me to break free from feeling “stuck”. To be able to move from feeling limited to feeling limitless. In the process, I was able to start seeing my set of circumstances in a different way. In a way that helped to empower my process and journey.
In a way that helped me to stop seeing my life through the eyes what I could not do, to see what I could do. What I could do to make my life magical, one day at a time. One day at a time despite brain injury symptoms, deficits and limitations to create a life that was worth living.
