In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jose Reyes to discuss the journey to acceptance from the unique lens of a licensed therapist who has had a traumatic brain injury (TBI). At the heart of Jose's story is a profound message of resilience and empowerment as he transitioned from a patient to a Peer Mentor at Craig Hospital. By embracing his new reality and channeling his experiences into meaningful action, he has not only transformed his own life but has also become a guiding light for others on similar paths. Drawing from his own experiences, he provides invaluable support, guidance, and encouragement to those who are just beginning their own recovery journeys. Jose's empathy and understanding serve as a source of hope and community for countless individuals who may feel lost or overwhelmed by the staggering impact of a spinal cord injury (SCI)/TBI.
So sit down and listen to what he has to say -
Earmuffs warning: PG - no swear words or adult humor in this one. Go ahead an throw it on even if the kids can hear.
