Our last episode of the podcast is definitely not the least! We’ve heard from so many of our listeners and have personally experienced just how much brain injuries can affect our mental health. From overstimulation to irritability; emotionality to anxiety; impulsiveness to depression; brain injuries really change how our minds work! In this episode, BrainStorm for Brain Injury’s Dr. Judy Gooch and Tyanne Crook talk about mental health post injury and where you can go for help. I know I was nodding right along with this one and raising my hand. This episode really helped me feel less alone, maybe it will for you too!

February. The month of commercialized love aka Valentines Day. While buying chocolates and teddy bears is a questionable way to show you love someone; it is a good reminder that we need to show support and be vocal about appreciating those who love us, especially those who have stood by us in our worst moments.
Brain injury is a unique circumstance in a relationship where roles change quickly. Suddenly an independent partner has increased needs and the significant other becomes a caregiver. This is a really hard time for the survivor and spouse. This month, we talk with some amazing couples who have stuck together through the hard times. A true in sickness and in health test.
For our first in the series, stroke survivor Tymiak and his beautiful wife Rachel Hawkins provide their perspectives on what was needed for their relationship to thrive post injury. Join us as we listen to them converse about communication, mindfulness, honesty and the roles they play in keeping a solid relationship post brain injury.
