Surviving a Traumatic Brain Injury: My Recovery Story

The brain is the storyteller of self—it sculpts personality, filters experience, and governs feeling. When its capacity to process is shaken, we lose more than function: we lose a portal to presence, and we crave compassionate care. In this personal telling, I trace my own passage through traumatic brain injury—a rupture that forced me back to first principles: nature, relationship, and slow repair. This is a healing story that continues, rooted in the wild wisdom of life itself.
