Consider your emotional baggage when you still want to learn! Today we are speaking with Laurel who had a brain injury at age 17. She lost her hearing in one ear, but that did not stop her. Laurel became an attorney, a licensed professional counselor (LPC), and is now a board member at BIN. She never gave up her quest to learn and graduated with her law degree and still teaches continuing LPC classes quarterly. Running four times a week keeps her recovery going strong. Although she still has challenges, including time management, swallowing, eating, and partial hearing loss, she has found great compensation strategies. Laurel manages her time by returning emails and phone calls to specified times. No matter your age when you have a brain injury, you can still achieve great things.

Have you ever thought, "How could it be any worse?" Some people with a brain injury have felt as if they are a kid again, as they had to relearn almost everything. Meet Bre: a BIND member, who was shot in the head at age 28. He was always a very social person, but had to relearn how to speak, eat, and understand everyday life.

Bre is just now starting on the road to independency and wants to help people support themselves. After his brain injury, he believes that he is more open-minded in several ways, including physically and spiritually, and he has now even returned to boxing.

Have you heard about neurofeedback?

Today we welcome Dr. Robert Baric, the founder of MyConcussionDr where he specializes in whole body management of brain injury. Nine years ago, after his mother had a stroke, he got board certified in neurofeedback, and now has one of the best clinics in North Carolina.

QEEG and/or eye examination are the usual ways to diagnose concussion. He discusses the best ways to initially treat a TBI, when to go to the ER, what you can do at home, and strategies for lifelong brain health.

Dr. Baric emphasizes the importance of persistent recovery. If you hit a wall with one practitioner, find another that can help. With hard work and the right fuel, recovery is possible.
