Simon Lewis once again joins Kim as Co-Host on a discussion about Sensory Overload. After a brain injury we need to chart a whole new course of boundaries, as to what we can comfortably handle. We learn if we don’t accept our new limitations, the consequences can really slow us up. Crowds, Lights, Noise, Touch, Smells .. Can all get to us in a way they never did before. We adapt by learning to be aware, accept, and adapt to our new course.

Dr Maria’s Second Relational Skill
Tonight is STEP 2 in Our Series of 19 Relational Skills!!
Dr Mara Romanas is a staff pathologist at a Veterans’ Administration hospital, where she practices general surgical pathology. She is f ellowship-trained in cytopathology. Dr Maria especially enjoys teaching and training pathology residents.
Dr Maria’s professional and personal life was limited by a severe traumatic brain injury suffered during a roll-over car accident in 1984 at 18yrs old. Although she doesn’t have an outwardly obvious disability, her cognitive impairments were interfering with her life.
In 2013, Dr Maria went through an 8-week program of intensive holistic cognitive rehabilitation (HCR) that trained her to become her own self-therapist. She learned exactly what was wrong with her brain and how she could deliberately use her conscious mind to prevent my impairments from causing disabled functioning.
