86. Learning Self-Advocacy with Alison Rheaume - Concussion, & Brain Injury

The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury

Finding strength for your physical recovery post-concussion is no easy feat, but how do you find even more strength to speak up and advocate for yourself and your symptoms? Alison Rheaume has suffered more than one severe concussion in her life, catalyzing her passion for increasing awareness, education, and collaborative support for those with brain injuries.
Ali has experienced all sides of the medical system: medical gaslighting, medication-related side effects, and doctors who positively changed the trajectory of her recovery. She discusses the importance of early intervention and therapy, understanding how everything in your body is interconnected, and accepting your recovery and journey for what it is. After all the hard lessons Ali has learned, she leaves us with her two main encouragements: have fun and have gratitude.
