DR. KEAGEN HADLEY - writes, speaks and coaches on coming back from serious injury.
Listen at 11:50 when Keagen Hadley gives a definition of ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) and how, from his own lived experience, ACT differs from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). Very interesting!
In this episode of The COMEBACK Coach Dr. Keagen Hadley talks about making a comeback from his own past mental illness, substance abuse, and physical injuries.
He's a former USA College footballer who 'blew' both ACL's in his playing career.
Today Keagen is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy - specializing in psychological treatments of physical injuries such as torn ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) of the knee.
Keagen Hadley authored the Amazon Bestseller book, 'TORN: Overcoming the Psychological Challenges Post-ACL Injury.'

From Keagen's website: "Keagen Hadley is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy and psychiatric clinical researcher, who specializes in using psychological treatments such as ACT with his clients. He has a deep understanding of the interventions and knows how emotional distress can interfere with rehabilitation, daily activities, and overall quality of life. As an athlete, he tore both ACLs playing college and semi-professional football. This experience made him acutely aware of the struggles associated with ACL injuries and the various issues that can arise psychologically due to this condition. He is passionate about nutrition, joint health, mental health, entrepreneurship, fitness technology, and personal development."
Quote: “You can take anything, even something seemingly catastrophic and use it to pivot into something you love.” ~ Keagen Hadley
