Letters of Hope and Wisdom for Brain Injury Survivors

Thoughts from a Counselor

About this book

Letters of Hope and Wisdom for Brain Injury Survivors: Thoughts from a Counselor offers a personal, informal and spiritual perspective on how to manage the multiple issues related to brain injury. Written by a counsellor who draws on first hand experiential testimonies and insights, each chapter offers a personal letter to the survivor addressing the various issues stemming from a brain injury, along with practical applications suggested for recovery.

The book offers a general overview of brain injury and how each part of the brain may be affected. Mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, fear, post-traumatic stress, and grief are described from the perspectives of both the survivor and the family members, and the book also includes strategies on improving self-esteem and gaining new purpose after a brain injury. Additionally, practical coping skills are explained such as how to deal with sensory overload, adjusting the pace of life, and managing family events. Each chapter also offers a homework section that gives the reader additional exercises to complete.

It is valuable reading for brain injured survivors seeking holistic wellbeing, and their family members to help them navigate what lies before them. It also serves as an additional source of therapy for clinicians, counselors and upper-level graduate students.
