EP 100: ONE FACTOR SLOWING CONCUSSION RECOVERY WE DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO EARLY ENOUGH


Listen Later

How often do we, as clinicians, wait for the research to "catch up" before we make changes—while our clients continue to struggle with symptoms that could've been eased sooner?

If you're still using the same intake forms, the same outcome measures, or the same clinical flow because "that's how it's always been done," you might be missing key opportunities to prevent trauma from taking hold and prolonging recovery.

Here's the truth: fear avoidance, trauma, and negative self-talk can all delay healing after a concussion. But with the right tools, insights, and a willingness to adapt, we can rewrite recovery pathways and help our clients find safety, resilience, and real progress—faster.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • The key role of fear-avoidance behaviors in persistent concussion symptoms

  • Why traditional intake questionnaires may be missing critical emotional data

  • How trauma and negative self-perception influence the nervous system and recovery

  • A powerful new EMDR approach that may prevent trauma from taking root after MVAs

By integrating trauma-informed, research-backed care sooner—not later—you'll learn how to support your clients more completely and help them reclaim their healing journey.
