The Concussion Nerds Podcast

EP 61: The Science of Hope


Listen Later

Do you ever feel like you've hit a dead end on your healing journey?

Too often, people struggling with persistent concussion symptoms hear from providers that "this is your new normal" or that they "should’ve been better by now." These words can crush the small flame of hope patients cling to, making recovery seem out of reach.

But here's the truth: Hope is a science, and it’s a critical component of healing. We explore how hope is not just a feeling but a practical framework for motivation and progress.

 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

👉 Why the words “this is your new normal” can be harmful to recovery

👉 How hope acts as both a desire and mindset that fuels healing

👉 The two critical types of thinking in the science of hope—and why most concussion patients excel in only one

👉 Actionable steps you can take to reignite your sense of hope, whether you’re a patient or clinician

 

By fostering hope, both patients and providers can find a path to meaningful recovery.

Let’s connect!
