Re: Cognitive Rehabilitation
Thank you SO much for sharing that! What a pleasure when we find someone who understands You must have felt such relief and validation
I remember being in a breast cancer group therapy session and I mentioned chemo brain. The facilitator said it did not exist But there I sat, someone who could barely drive myself to the sessions because I couldn't remember how to get there. Or back home I felt so disrespected
I found that a mindful meditation program helped. It came with CDs too. But it was SO difficult to just BE and stop the monkeys swing from branches in my befuddled brain
I'm much improved with time
Keep the faith
