Post-Concussion Syndrome-Women's Sports on Recovery Now with Kim Justus

My guest tonight is Claire Lapat, a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh.  She is a neuroscience major on the pre-med track.  She is also doing a double minor in chemistry and applied statistics.  Claire has suffered over 20 concussions.  She was a soccer player for thirteen years, always one of the girls going for headers and playing aggressively.  She now suffers from persistent Post-Concussion Syndrome.  Name a symptom and she definitely has it, currently with no end in sight.  Claire wants to use her experiences to make youth sports safer and to try to help others who may be going through similar things.  You can follow her journey on my website, clairesconcussionjourney.home.blog and on Instagram/Facebook page @clairesconcussionjourney This show is a gathering place for anyone seeking recovery from the challenges of life on life's terms. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers - which takes a huge Warrior spirit! Front part of show is a featured guest. The second is Open Mic and some great Indy Music sure to inspire!
