Reported “Brain Injury” Themes from Support Group Attendees: 1. Acceptance from the self: ◦ “I seem to be terrified to try to allow myself to get too close to someone because I’m too confused as far as where I am right now, about what I’m thinking right now, it’s just too confusing. ” 2. Intimacy & Ambiguous loss: ◦ “I have difficulties trusting… how do I know that you accept me for who I am… when I don’t even know who I am” 3. Acceptance from society & “Walking Wounded: ” ◦ “It’s hard it’s so hard to be accepted, because a brain injury is not enough to society to be accepted as a disability” 4. Belonging: ◦ Camaraderie, trust emphasizes the importance of treating comorbidities. ST. JUDE’S BRAIN INJURY NETWORK 5/16/2019 WWW. TBIOC. ORG @TBIOC
Working with TBI (Folzer, 2001; Prigatano & Klonoff, 1988, p. 247) When delivering therapeutic services, facilitators should assist in: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. coping with the loss of identity Development of a new adaptive “self” increase awareness of the survivors’ own emotions provide psychoeducation to increase recognition of symptoms in a non-confrontational way provide opportunities to rehearse regulatory social skills The facilitator may want to: 1. 2. 3. 4. Model patience and sensitivity repeat information several times (the clients’ failure to remain engaged may be mistaken for resistance – cognition) always encourage clients to be writing notes remember that education is a critical function: ◦ an effective facilitator modeling desirable behavior and teaches compensatory strategies ◦ while mediating emotional reactions of members to direct feedback.
