Brain trauma may make maturing brains "misfire" and disrupt the development of impulse control, social judgment and self-restraint, according to MedicalNewsToday.com but speaking from personal experience, it's a FACT! It was also my introduction to discovering the specific type of trauma sustained, had it not been for a 'misfire' after returning to duty in the Marine Corps. If you have a Brain Injury, 'misfires' can be an common occurance, if not identified and addressed. Before a Brain Injury, it's referred to as a 'melt-down', 'anxiety', '30-something syndrom', and a plethroa of others unique adjectives however, after a brain injury I've heard 'anger issues', 'crazy', 'insane', 'psyco' and a host of others. Fortunately there is HOPE! Join us tonight as Kevin shares some of his most memorable 'misfires' and the lessons learned from them. Call in and listen LIVE @424.243.9540 and share your success or questions. You never know who will be listening and how your question or story can help inspire others.

THIS WEEK:  Bill of Rights for the Brain Injured The Bill of Rights are Laws created to protect the PEOPLE, not a specific demographic. For more than twenty years, those serving in CONgress (and Politics) have spent their days creating new legislation to manipulate and distort what America’s Founding Fathers established. But should people with Brain Injuries be allowed to own firearms? Politicians are currently under the beLIEf that the "stupidity of the American voter is a requirement for these laws to pass". So, for those of us with Brain Injuries, it is paramount that we immerse ourselves into retaining the RIGHTS the Founding Fathers established, if not, WTF? Join the TBI THRIVER TEAM tonight and share your thoughts on this topic, understanding, Together Everyone Achieves Miracles.
