Brain Injury Communication - Michael Idell - Who Needs A Place to Vent?

Who needs a place to vent when they won't be judged??? WE ARE HERE!! It is unlikely that there is a typical developing individual who has never had a tantrum of some sort or an irrational behavior, who has not balked at being separated from a loved one or been fed up about circumstances they are dealt with . Rarer still are people who are never moody or withdrawn, aggressive or antisocial, argumentative or oppositional. It is typical of anyone to retreat or respond negatively or aggressively to situations that are new, frightening, or beyond their understanding. _____________ Why is this unacceptable behavior for a person surviving a brain injury? Why is it culturally acceptable for someone to be this way but when an individual with a neurological impairment, it becomes an excuse this person is acting irrational? Why should this person be judged based on his or her disability? Why can't this be looked at as a normal behavior by someone who was mistreated somehow? _______________ Are you a brain inury survivor and don't know who to turn to? Are you a caregiver who can't get any support? Are you a parent of someone with special needs and cant find someone who understands? WE ARE HERE!
