Second Chance to Live – A Precious Truth
Posted by secondchancetolive on June 16, 2008
My name is Craig and I am a traumatic brain injury survivor. I have lived with an invisible disability for over 40 years. I spent many years of my life denying my reality.
I found that as long as I denied my reality, I could not truly heal and begin to accept myself. Although I am not my traumatic brain injury, deficits, limitations or disability my life is impacted because of my traumatic brain injury.
Through my process I discovered a precious truth. When I began to accept myself because of my traumatic brain injury, deficits, limitations and disability I stopped fighting against myself.
As I have grown to accept myself because of my traumatic brain injury, deficits, limitations and disability I have been able to use my gifts, talents and abilities in ways that work for me.
As I accept myself – for who I am – my need to sabotage myself lessens.
