Traumatic Brain Injury — I began to heal when… Epiloque

Posted by Second Chance to Live on October 29, 2009

Please read Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 , Part 4 and Part 5 for context. Thank you.

Through out this 5 part series I have shared what helped me begin to heal. I began to heal because of my pain, anguish and my search for answers and solutions. In the following articles I elaborate on how I found answers and solutions. For more information into what helped me to begin to heal I would encourage you to read though the following articles.

As you read through the articles, if you have questions please feel free to ask. I will do my best to answer your questions. Below are the links to the articles.

What is Keeping you Stuck?, Whose Shame are you Carrying?, Displaced Sadness, Whose Life are you Living?, Who am I?, Traumatic Brain Injury and the Missing Pieces and Traumatic Brain Injury and the Pinball Machine.

In my search for answers I slowly began to realize that I had been denying my reality. I began to understand that I had been buying into various denial systems — both mine and what other people had for me. I speak to this awareness in my 4 part series My Struggle Living with and Invisible Disability and my 2 Part series Having an Invisible Disability — The Consequence of Denying my Reality.

Through my awareness I began to realize my opportunities. On the Road to Healing, Brain Injury, Self-Esteem, Self-Respect and Significance, Traumatic Brain Injury — Following your bliss…regardless, Small Successes, The Power of Identification,The Measure of a Champion , Traumatic Brain Injury and Not Judging Our Efforts, and In Pursuit of Destiny.

Please let me know if the above articles have been helpful to you. Thank you.

In Part 3 of this series I mentioned that there were 2 books that helped me to begin to heal. I stated in Part 3 that I would give you the titles of these books. Here are the titles and authors to those books.

Shame and Guilt — Master’s of Disquise Jane Middleton- Moz

Drama of the Gifted Child Alice Miller
