Dealing with post-concussion syndrome is hard, but when the healthcare system is often set up to devalue one’s cries for help, things go from bad to worse.

Today's guest Taylor Vanderzwet shares her experiences with post-concussion syndrome. Her most recent being a workplace incident that ended up derailing her life. Taylor speaks about the range of physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms she is now dealing with, and the useless advice her family doctor gave her which did not help matters at all. One of her biggest challenges has been trying to integrate back into her the harsh environment of her workplace. While it has been a struggle for Taylor, we also talk about some of the help she has gotten from different professionals. She speaks about how much of a blessing it has been for her to speak to a psychotherapist so that she could be heard and also develop crucial self-love skills she needs to be able to keep advocating for the validity of her experiences.
