A Recovery Now

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.

Many of you have heard that Blog Talk Radio is closing their operation any day now. We're SAD because we've run Brain Injury Radio broadcasts & On Demand Programming there since 2009.

I had known Bill for many years, when I learned he'd suffered a TBI. He'd had a lengthy road of recovery the past couple years, and then a severe car accident too. Bill was always strong as a bull, and few have had a more colorful past and turn around. Between his own addiction, chronic pain, and mental health challenges - He fought like the warrior he had always been and overcame, continuing to live a life of service. In spite of ...

Most of you have probably heard the term "Leaky Gut" syndrome, but don't fully understand the mechanics. The brain-gut connection, also known as the gut-brain axis, is a two way communication system between the brain and the digestive system. It's a complex network of nerves and signals that allows the brain and gut to work together to keep the digestive system functioning properly. Why is this important? How can you determine when...

September is Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month. Some rupture from pressure, and others wait patiently for the day they likely do. Known by descriptions beyond just Aneurysm ... You hear these beasts described as Hemorrhagic stroke due to bleeding into the brain by the rupture of a blood vessel. Hemorrhagic stroke may be further subdivided into intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Ischemic and TIA are often...

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. We are intent on the task in front of us, and suddenly something shiny pulls us ...

With September a few days away, we looked ahead to see what topic associated might make a good discussion. Being a survivor (Kim), I knew that it will be Brain Aneurysm Awareness Month. That will be covered on another show. September signals the seasonal change from summer to fall, the remberence of 9-11, the Presidential Election, and now COVID Vax .. To do or not?  I was surprised to know it was also National Suicide and Depressi...

We will be discussing how to prepare for an emergency before it happens. Recently the Midwest had a rare type of storm that left more residents out of power, than ever in the history of the area. Just afterward the Atlantic Coast was beaten with Hurricane Debby, and the next week Caifornia had earthquakes! No matter what time of year, or what what type of emergency - Be it from Mother Nature or other causes, it's random, scary and ...

Ignorance causes misdiagnosis and therefore ineffective (or no) treatment for children with Brain Injury - Particularly ones with less obvious "tells". Professionals, parents, educators, and others are not familiar with common symptoms that point to Brain Injury. As a result, too many kids are thrust into a life of challenges that are never tied back to the root cause of TBI. In turn a disfunctional circle forms, robbing these chil...

Being the night before the day after (Independence Day July 4th) .. It's likely to sound like a war zone in my studio. We're one of those cities which allow citizens to arm themselves with personal explosives to fire off around the neighborhood.
