Richard Jackson added a discussion to the group Spirituality and TBI
Faith and trust made all the difference.
My rehab process was quite long, almost 50 years. That was due to the low level of TBI Medical expertise in the 1950s.It was a sports accident, basketball.One of the most important things was forgiveness, not only forgiveness of myself and self anger but also forgiveness of the person on the opposing team who pushed me into an unpadded wall in the gym.My faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ helped me through the most difficult situations of depression and a near death situation in 1975.

I also find that tranquil settings especially near a stream or with soft music playing helps to quiet my fears as does a movie or even a good book (usually an interesting paragraph that I research) in which I become totally absorbed - something that I enjoy that does not "put me on alert" and does not raise my blood pressure - no suspense in the movies.
Yes, I seem to jump from a sentence in the short paragraph to researching the word derivation on the internet or the definition in…

My 2nd TBI on 03/18/2010 happened when my vehicle was stopped at a red light and was rear-ended by an uninsured motorist.
