Episode 19. Put the Music in the Background. 1st discussion with Jenna

This is a great discussion about brain injury. Jenna shares about her overwhelming and strange problems, the fatigues, the difficulty finding help, the evolution and changes of her problems over time, also how isolating brain injury is when you are consumed by problems that are invisible to others. With the right help and interpretation of what she is dealing with, Jenna has worked to improve and regain her life back. We get into detailed discussion of the 'baby step' nature of working to restore what was once automatic in your mind, and how hard it is to explain all the bizarre brain injury problems.In addition to "work to regain" her injured brain capacities, Jenna shares a great deal about her journey of healing and ways she has learned to be realistic and positive about her setbacks and not pushing her brain injury limits. The self caring and gentle way, she has adopted, for and towards herself is inspiring.The ideas I share with Jenna, and fit into the end of the podcast are brain injury ideas I have been trying to communicate for a while.
