If your recovery doesn't add up to feeling whole, happy, healthy, resilient, and satisfied, what's the point?
Ultimate Recovery from Brain Injury
represents a unique contribution to the brain injury literature. Unlike most books on recovery, it's not about going back to the life you led before your injury. It's about going forward and obtaining what everyone wants but most never get-a life worth living! In these pages you'll learn that a brain injury isn't an obstacle to such a life; it can actually be an advantage in creating one. You'll also learn that experiencing emotions such as anger, fear, outrage, pain, and hopelessness are not only natural but necessary to your recovery. These emotions arise from missing things you value and that you want-something better than what you feel you have right now. They represent your strong emotional connection with life, the very foundation of meaningful recovery.
is a step-by-step guide to the attitudes, knowledge, skills, and habits you'll need to succeed. Author Gerry Brooks, a 45-year veteran of treating brain injury survivors, will guide you through a straightforward, easy-to-grasp approach that integrates tried-and-true lifestyle management practices. Are you ready to embrace a new life? It's time to live a life worth living.
