Traumatic Brain Injury to Mental Clarity and Ready for Anything!

I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury at the age of 10 that led to a myriad of health problems, Gastropareisis, PANDAS, Fibromyalgia, Severe Chronic Pain Syndrome, and lots of Anxiety and Depression to name some of diagnoses. I went from a student, and athlete at whatever sport was around in the season, to someone who had to spend all of his teenage years at home in pain. 

After lots of attempts at lots of clinics, neurologists, and psychiatrists, I found success in my physical well being at the Spero Clinic.  But I still needed to regain my mental clarity which I had been searching for this entire journey, and which many doctors told me would never return.  I used to be at the top of my class, and I loved learning!  After my injury the drastic change to my ability to think clearly was maddening. 

At the end of the first day of the Lightning Process training, I realized something...I had my mental clarity back! I got my brain back by learning to be present, relaxed, sharp, and ready for anything I want to take on.  I have my mental stamina back as well, and then some!  I am now back to studying for long amounts of time, reading, and actually enjoying it again. 

I also needed to heal my mindset.  There were still many beliefs and patterns of thoughts that I had accumulated through the journey that did nothing but work against living the life I want!  

The LP was key in reworking those patterns and beliefs and now I’m able to work towards the things I really want in my life! I learned how to calm my internal chatter and turn it into something that helps me, something that would have been an alien concept to the anxious me of before! My ability to interpret my thoughts and life has been changed in incredibly positive ways.  I recently got my drivers license, and I am taking on my GED now, and plan to move into college next! 

Thanks to the LP, I feel equipped for life and whatever it has to offer, something just a few months ago I couldn't have imagined myself saying!
