Doctor and Author Joyce Mikal-Flynn suffered a brain injury in an unusual swimming accident. After experiencing significant aphasia and cognitive delays, a doctor helped her to realize that she needed to rehabilitate her brain!

Today Dr. Joyce is a professor in the School of Nursing at California State University, Sacramento. She holds a Doctor of Education from St. Mary's College and a Masters of Science in Nursing at CSUS, focusing on trauma-informed care with an emphasis on building resilience and posttraumatic growth. She developed the word “metahabilitation” to describe a more optimistic and productive outcome in the aftermath of trauma and her research has provided a strengths-based clinical pathway to guide individuals towards posttraumatic growth. She has also written two books on the subject of overcoming trauma.

Dr. Joyce shares some very helpful advice on how to rehab your brain, the importance of cross-training your brain with your body, and the vital role of your mindset on your neural networking and brain chemistry during recovery. Tune in to find out why she recommends a therapist, the importance of taking control of what you can control, and how not to let your injury define you.
