Brain injuries are scary for most people.

And the sad part is that they are often undiagnosed and unrecognized so more people (not just the injured ones but their families as well) suffer for way longer.

Every injury is challenging in its own way. I know that many people have the tendency to compare their physical traumas or downtalk them and say “Well, I shouldn’t be complaining since so and so has it worse.” There will always be someone who has it worse but that doesn’t mean that your trauma doesn’t matter or that you don’t matter. You do!

I love talking with people who have all sorts of injuries because it helps me understand their challenges better, which also makes practicing compassion and understanding way easier.

Still, people wonder – if the brain is broken, are you still you? And even if you believe in the power of the mind-body connection, how does it work if your mind might not be working as it should?

Nathalie Kelly faced all these questions after suffering a brain injury in a sailing accident. But as a hypnotherapist, she knew that the brain is capable of growth and healing, and realized that she could make herself better – she just needed to find the right approach. After engineering her own miraculous recovery, she now helps other people overcome brain injuries, and this interview is truly important for understanding them better. 

In this amazing talk, you’ll discover: 

• Why recovering from a traumatic brain injury can be possible, despite a prognosis that may say otherwise. 
• What is a heart-body connection and why it’s important in helping with recovery. 
• What kind of role your emotions play in healing and how they can help you bounce forward in life. 
• Hands-on work: tapping session for letting go of overwhelming feelings.
