Brain injury survivors often appear to be “scatterbrained” to their families and employers. The injury has damaged their information processing and management pathways in a permanent manner.
Decades of research have shown that the most effective way to manage this problem is to develop an external organizational system that is specifically tailored to the survivor and their lifestyle. No amount of mental exercise will do the trick.
More importantly, commitment to use the organizational system in a systematic and habitual manner is necessary for the survivor to regain consistency, dependability, and independence in their everyday functioning as adults, friends, parents, and employees.
This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life’s terms. I introduce topics, and survivor’s share their experience, strength and hope. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery.
