Welcome back everyone to the Concussion Care Studio Book Club. Book #2 | LEFT NEGLECTED by Lisa Genova.

Looking forward to continuing connecting with everyone each Monday 2:00 PM (PST) on Zoom.

We have been enjoying the New York Times Bestseller and having such deep discussions on how magnificent and mysterious the human brain truly is. Feel free to join us and our amazing community!

Very impressive post from SJBIN and highly recommend there programs for

DTI MRI Scans illustrating Brain injury as a disorder of connectivity (see attached photo); therefore, you burn up more "mental gas" doing the same easy tasks as before. This can lead to "cognitive fatigue" and stress is more difficult to manage when tired... so stay aware, ask for help, and take restful breaks

Book Club last week was an incredible success as we had participants from four different time zones.

We had a chance to review the Forward and Author’s Note from The Ghost In My Brain by Clark Elliot, Ph.D.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped us kick start this amazing book. The Zoom link is available at https://www.concussioncarestudio.com/

Are You Struggling With Attention, Motivation or Organization?

Together we can support each other to move through barriers, set goals and achieve progress. Monday morning we organize our week based on three principles for success: 1) Simplicity, 2), Repetition, 3) Reward - with an option to report back a success each week for accountability and support.

For the price of a coffee each week, you can give yourself an opportunity for success. Classes begin January 9th/2023. If you would benefit from support and accountability, please reach out.
