A Recovery Now
www.inaflash.org Recovery Now is a gathering place for anyone seeking relief from the challenges of life on life's terms. Whether it is brain injury, mental health, addictive disorders or other matters of the brain, we identify the problems and seek to find potential solutions. We discuss useful tools that have helped us lighten the load, of our journey through recovery. More will be revealed! This is a "we" recovery program, because it is in the "we," that we find the new "me." We focus on the four A's of Recovery: Awareness, Acceptance, Action and Adaptation. This is a place for survivor's striving to become thrivers, which takes a good bit of Warrior! Hosted by Kim Justus, author of In a Flash: Miracles Here and Beyond as well as Hootie’s Hollow and the Magic Tree.

Tonight's show is focused on specific tools to aid in recovery. Practices found in DBT, CBT, and other skills training. After major trauma we often find we are ill equipped to cope in the most productive ways, both physically and mentally. We may get discharge orders, but no clue how to adjust to our "differently-abled" lives moving forward. We focus on adding tools to our box, broadening our ability to "respond" positively, rather...

Many residuals can be new issues we grapple with after Brain Injury. Difficulty focusing without getting distracted is one of those. This intrusion can become frustrating and make us angry. It was on one of those days, many of us survivors began to refer to this as "something shiny". To survive around this community, it helps to have a sense of humor.
