91. Moving Forward with Veronique Theberge - Encephalitis, Mental Health, & Brain Injury Recovery The Post Concussion Podcast - Life After A Brain Injury
-
- Mental Health
Brain injuries can occur in a number of ways, but the pathway to recovery can often look remarkably similar. Our guest today, Veronique Theberge, is a French Canadian living in New Zealand and is an encephalitis and brain injury survivor.
In our conversation, Veronique recounts how a rare case of encephalitis (which causes swelling in the brain) resulted in her Acquired Brain Injury, and how being misdiagnosed worsened her symptoms and prolonged her recovery.
Veronique reflects on the physical, as well as mental, challenges she has had to contend with, and what it has meant for her to remove the word failure from her vocabulary as she learns to live with her brain injury. We hope you’ll join us for an encouraging conversation on healing, recovery, raising awareness, learning how to ask for help, and taking things one day at a time.
