Recovery Now with Kim Justus on Being Your Own Advocate at All Times

My guest will be Peter Hoecherl discussing bias treatment by law enforcement, and what a tangled web that can be weaved. He will walk us through things to watch out for, and new resources to be aware of to protect ourselves. When trouble knocks, we need to be educated in helpful resources ourselves. Advocacy doesn't come easy. For a "Vulerable Adult" he hasn't done too bad! Peter suffered TBI's in 1989, 96, 98, 2001, 09 & 13. His prognosis has remained that there is nothing that can repair his deficits. He has no left temperal lobe functions, no positive emotional states, No frontal cortex  (pleasure center), and his word and language processing very inhibited. Peter has gone on to explore higher education and many hobbies, even after all of the injuries he has sustained. "PJ" knows that in order to move forward, we need an attitude of determination and action..No matter what. 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. Front part of show is a featured guest. The second is Open Mic and some great Indy Music, sure to inspire!
