Brain Injury
We start with each individual's current capability level and encourage their recuperative edge.
We measure what is not in balance or what may be interfering for recoverable potential. There are several brain systems which are typically challenged and exhibit as:
- Anger
- Anxiety
- Phobias
- Light/Sound Sensitivities
- Memory Delays
- Personality Changes
Head Trauma is caused when shearing and twisting impact the skull and brain. This impact can disrupt the structure of the brain and neural pathways.
Unfortunately, many times medical exams will show brain capabilities as "normal" as compared to averages. However, for many of our clients, their brain function is not normal for them, post injury. We look at the entire processing and function of the brain to help determine that individual's potential up to full recovery to pre-injury capabilities.
Depression often accompanies TBI and can be a life altering experience. The symptoms can be so severe that just getting out of bed can be an effort.
For others, personalities change. Those who may have been easy-going are now edgy and volatile. Others may find integrating into society very difficult and they may become withdrawn.
Memory is often a large problem for those with head injuries. It may be that prior to the injury, math, accounting, remembering names and numbers were easy. Post injury, it can become a struggle.
