Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 41

Today we explore what can be an extremely tough topic. Gratitude. 

During this time of the year in the United States where this becomes a front of mind consideration. We are no different. 

As we go into talking about this today, we recognize that for many it may be a struggle to find ways to be grateful after experiencing a trauma such as a brain injury especially when PTSD and long term effects like Post Concussion Syndrome may be associated with it.

We have had real struggles around feeling grateful at times and continue to do so from time to time. It is a struggle.

We are going to pass along a few things we do to try to help us in this regard as well as other ideas we have learned about since episode 17 (The Mindset Shift) when we spoke to it as well.

Today on A BATTLE WITHIN, We spend some time talking about our unique experience at the Center for Brain Injury and Repair Annual Retreat that we were able to participate in on November 8th 2019.

It really was a cool format the way we were involved. Listen in closely to what happened and for some additional resources.


A BATTLE WITHIN is about our life experiences and those of our guests living with and healing from Post Concussion Syndrome.(PCS) The conversations are real, raw and uncensored from both the survivor and caregiver perspectives.

From time to time we also get medical professionals involved so they can offer their expertise as well.

It is our desire that this platform be a useful way to create awareness around the invisible injury and help those in the battle, whether that is you the patient or you the caregiver. One way to do this is to share! So please share!

Welcome to A BATTLE WITHIN, Episode 039

Today on A BATTLE WITHIN, Terry and Drew chat with Jeff Huxford, M.D. We will be investigating his story, touching on his blog of musings and reviewing the book that he has written and put out into the world!

His book, "Finding Normal" documents his journey of trying to find that very place after a life changing and significant automobile accident he was involved in back in 2012.

Jeff was a family medicine doctor in northwest Indiana for ten years before having to retire due to complications from the traumatic brain injury he suffered in the accident.

He has since pivoted and has become a blogger, author, and speaker.

In 2016, Jeff moved to Franklin, TN with his wife and two children and began anew.

Listen in as we explore how Jeff and his family have healed, shifted,  and adapted their lives and outlook on life based on this life altering experience.
