For many traumatic brain injury survivors, the last person they turn to for help is a therapist. Today we talk to Hilary Morris, a licensed professional counselor who specializes in providing psychotherapy to these very people, to help them find relief from anxiety, stress, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We hear why Hilary chose to specialize in treating this group, and what some of the common psychological symptoms of concussion are. Find out why a concussion is like a snow globe, and how a therapist helped Bella to ground herself after her injury. Hilary breaks down the neurophysiology underlying concussion, and how the anatomy of the brain affects the symptoms exhibited by each patient. We dive into how your emotions might change following a concussive injury, and the tools that a therapist will provide you with to cope. Tune in to find out how to accept the loss of the person you once were, how to handle the accompanying grief, and so much more in this therapeutic episode!
