There are tools we can use to fix our brains

I’ve been using my Sunday to look back on the tools I’ve used over the past 7 years to address my long-standing TBI issues. I have been noticing a “dip” in my progress, that I’m not really happy about, and I realize that I’ve gotten a bit complacent and lackadaisical, which is hurting me and my quality of life.

Give Back Orlando’s TBI Self-Therapy Guide has been incredibly helpful to me, and although the support group no longer seems to exist, I still have the guides they made available online, and I make the available here on the site. The founder, Larry Schutz, Ph.D., is now working in the Los Angeles area, and I have heard good things about the results.

I have just posted the summary of “How to Fix Your Brain” under my “BI Recovery Tools” section of this site. I need to jump-start my active recovery again, now that the long winter is over, I’ve cleared the decks of some unnecessary projects, and I’m getting some energy back. This is just the opportunity to work on some of the points that have turned “sticky” for me again.

Check it out…

I am a long-term multiple (mild) Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI or TBI) survivor who experienced assaults, falls, car accidents, sports-related injuries in the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s. My last mild TBI was in 2004, but it was definitely the worst of the lot. I never received medical treatment for my injuries, some of which were sports injuries (and you have to get back in the game!), but I have been living very successfully with cognitive/behavioral (social, emotional, functional) symptoms and complications since I was a young kid. I’ve done it so well, in fact, that virtually nobody knows that I sustained those injuries… and the folks who do know, haven’t fully realized just how it’s impacted my life. It has impacted my life, however. In serious and debilitating ways. I’m coming out from behind the shields I’ve put up, in hopes of successfully addressing my own (invisible) challenges and helping others to see that sustaining a TBI is not the end of the world, and they can, in fact, live happy, fulfilled, productive lives in spite of it all.

  1. The Give Back LA site is still active. I am actually in touch with Dr. Schutz – he is working on further developing and expanding this program.
