Find out more about Traumatic Brain Injury through the eyes of a survivor. Learn about what it feels like to be looking from the inside out. Some of what you will read is not available in any other books.
Once exposed to TBI, the family and partner normally take on the unrewarding role of caregiver, never considering for a second that they don't have any formal training. Diving headfirst into a situation they know very little about, they may find themselves in the deep end, having bitten off more than they can chew.
Informal caregiving is a relentless and demanding job with little to no reward. It is a role taken on out of love, unconditional love for the person they are caring for. Many relationships have stood the test and have had their limits tested. Few have endured such an extreme challenge.
I wrote this book to help enlighten the informal-caregiving family about what they can expect. You will find tips on making things easier for both of you. You will have a better understanding of how they feel and why they behave the way they do.
Learn about therapy and why it's so important that they attend all those sessions.
