Sadness and loss come from within. They are real responses to traumatic loss of the Self. Psychological growth and recovery begins inside and grows outward toward the world.

We'll give you a simple yet complete model of the Self – after all, it is the Psychological Self that can continue to grow, forever, long after physical recovery plateaus.

It is the Self that is the focus in recovering emotionally.

It is not grief, although grief is often present.

It is not behaviour, although behaviour can certainly get extreme after brain trauma.

The psychological Self is traumatized. The old Self is changed or lost. The new Self is in chaos. That's where we can help.

IMAGINE: You will set aside an illness model of emotional pain and grow and learn your way out of your trauma.

Benefit
If you still grieve the loss of your old Self or loved one, these resources can guide you through grief and the other core issues survivors of trauma face.

IMAGINE: Imagine knowing not only what you have lost, but what you have gained or regained.
