Navigating the medical system when you have a concussion is undeniably challenging, but trying to do so within pandemic restrictions is even worse.

Today, we are joined by journalist and writer, Lindsey Cook, whose recent article, I Slept Through a Year of the Pandemic, gives a moving account of how she became concussed after she was roofied by a waiter. In our conversation, Lindsey outlines the details of her recovery, what she has learned about how trauma is stored in the body, and why telling your story can help you change the narrative and shift your perspective.

We also discuss the positive impact of therapy and take a closer look at some of the treatments that have helped Lindsey during her recovery. Tune in for a reflective conversation on trauma, therapy, and recovery during the pandemic.
