Episode 10: Reflections – A Never-Ending Journey…

 

In this episode, Paul reflects upon Series 1 of Thinking Ahead as a whole and how Podcasting has helped him on his journey of recovery. Paul shares with us the profound benefits of Podcasting in establishing and re-building his sense of identity which has given him purpose and meaning in being able to help others with acquired brain injury, their family and friends, healthcare professionals and the wider public.

 

Paul also confides that his journey has not been plain sailing and discloses some of the wider challenges and frustrations he has faced as a result of the acquired brain injury. He re-caps on his initial unawareness of his brain injury and how making the Podcast series has radically transformed his thought processes enabling him to have an understanding of the subtle and hidden changes he has encountered along the way. More profoundly, the new narratives he has constructed with others has opened the doors for further insight building with the support of his brain injury rehabilitation team in this never ending journey of post-traumatic growth and new possibilities.
