I have suffered 3 severe traumatic brain injuries at 16 am now 43 refractory comorbid . 10 minutes into this i felt tears welling up your perceptions and understanding of what losing a life and living on a stranger in the same body..... i wish you all the best and applaud your perspectives

Thank you for reminding me of just what my daughter goes through on a daily basis and how I can help-or hurt. She is 42 and had a frontal lobe brain injury at age 7. We spent many years going to survivor and caregiving meetings at our brain injury association. It easy to forget the things I learned Thank you especially for the examples.

You’re so very welcome. ❤ Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. 🫂

Interesting! I'm 52 and struggle through life. TBI at the age of 21. Surprised to just now learn that the frontal lobe continues to develop into mid twenties. Wow! Adds more to my understanding!

thanks, I have TBI due to a car accident, this info is so so so so necessary for me

Great presentation, so well-delivered and from a place of compassion and professionalism. I believe my friend with Bipolar now has a damaged frontal lobe and your advice especially on communication will help me enormously. Thank you, you must be brilliant at your job.🙏

I was attacked 25years ago woth a claw hammer by a very bad person who had a bad record he had got away with mirder and many other weapon related crimes and i was in the wrong place at the wrong time, the front of my skull was caved in quite badly above my eyebrow and now its starting to make sense as to how my behavior and way of thinking has been affected by it this is so helpful and i thank you for this

Something that’s seems minor like head bunting a soccer ball can permanently damage your brain

The frontal lobe, isnt that your habits? How can a person with TBI remember their addiction to fetenol but doesnt remember the incident which the injury occured?

Hello, may I ask if a brain surgery could be considered brain injury?

You can get a type of tbi with surgery but surgery isn’t considered tbi

Can you no longer see images in your minds eye after a frontal lobe injury?

Linear-sequencial thought is hindered - like speech, verbal-emotional response and willful planning --- forming new ideas, far-seeing, drawing, (occipital) visualizing and writing isn't as much. Pre-frontal lobe is a conductor of emotions, asigner of priority&meaning, higher faculties, planning, ordering/postponer of emotions, setting importance of action/green-lighting (inhibitor/interpreter role) - ; without it working memory and real-time transcription of emotion into words, tonal control, speech or action is truncated, aimless or unmotivated. [Not to speak for everyone, I've had frontal concussion at around 9, with tertiary ocular bleeding, a few weeks of having my eye sockets purple like a raccoon [fTBI@9;w/p-OrbitalHmrrhage] Seeing, visualization comes out of the occipital back field - the frontal is mostly preocuppied with setting your ideas or emotions in such a way (linearity/sequele) that they won't lead to dead ends. It also deals with finding meaning, cataloging emotions based on importance. Basically - we see the fault, we have the destination just like everyone else, we just can't get there without derailing, shutting-down or getting frustrated at the directions. The journey is foggy, the steps seem unstable; we still see and know the end-goal, but the fuel seem unreliable, with ease we lose the emotional momentum by driving back and forth instead of forward, given one direction the upmost priority. (at a time)

HI, Can you tell me why you said this? I had a TBI and that is exactly what I feel. I feel like "I can't see images in my minds eye". This is what I want to know, did you have a TBI too?

@@persempre2010 yes, I was in a car accident and hit the steering wheel, since I posted this I found out my left temporal lobe is damaged that is responsible for the minds eye. Essentially it is your brain’s memory. Also, one of the ligaments in my neck Was torn and it turned into vascular Eagle Syndrome.

@@DollysParadise Hi there thank you for answering. I was hit from a big vehicle from behind and have all sorts of problems. So before, did you have a kind of photgraphic memory if I can say that, Where you looked at things and then can see those images in your head, but now you don;t anymore? A lot of Doctors I speak with don't seem to understand what I say to them at times.

@@persempre2010 they understand however they don’t admit it. You have brain damage, your brain no longer have the ability to store the visual input from your eyes, it is not a visual problem at all. When you research don’t research minds eye. Also, do you hear loud noises in your ear? Research temporal lobes and what they are responsible for. You now learn instinctively. 40% of your learning comes from the brain encoding the images from the eye. I was hit from behind to and a rotational impact. I broke my nose and neck.

Why do you say survivor?
