The Cost of Trauma on Recovery Now with Kim Justus & Caren Robinson

We Remember. We remember the social trauma of 9-11-2001, changing the way Americans live from that day forward. We also remember the day each of us experienced the personal trauma, shaping our lives again forever. "Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the mind that occurs as a result of a distressing event. Trauma is often the result of an overwhelming amount of stress that exceeds one's ability to cope, or integrate the emotions involved with that experience". Join Kim Justus, and new Frequent Contributer on the 2nd WED of many months, Caren Robinson. If you'd like to hear her story, refer back to our show on July 24th where her story was featured. Co-Host Caren created Web Site and Blog to help take the struggle out of finding resources and information when someone is faced with a Trauma - from a Polytrauma or Brain Injury. See: hopetbi.com 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!  Host is Kim Justus, author of In a Flash: Miracles Here and Beyond found at inaflash.org & "Like" at facebook.com/inaflash.org - "Like' braininjuryradionetwork on FB & See: braininjuryradio.com
