The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury
Health & Fitness
38. Identity, Mental Health, & Recovery with Bella Paige - Post Concussion Life
So much of what concussion, and brain injury survivors experience, is invisible. While the physical symptoms of a TBI and post-concussion syndrome can be debilitating and difficult to live with, the invisibility of the injury can contribute to, and worsen, feelings of isolation and depression.
In today’s show, Bella unpacks what she has learned from living with an invisible injury, and shares what she wishes she had known during her recovery. Bella reflects on how her identity was changed by being a concussion survivor, how she became attached to that identity, and interrogates the work she has needed to do to move on from her identity as a survivor.
Tuning in you’ll also hear more about our concussion school toolkit. Join us for this reflective episode on identity, mental health, and recovery, and remember that even if you’re experiencing something invisible, that doesn’t mean that you’re invisible.
