Comments on: Brain Focused Websites From Our Readers http://www.braintraining101.com/brain-focused-websites-from-our-readers/ Improve Your Brain Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:03:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Erin Matlock http://www.braintraining101.com/brain-focused-websites-from-our-readers/comment-page-1/#comment-737 Erin Matlock Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:34:31 +0000 http://www.braintraining101.com/?p=2095#comment-737 Thank you so much for that. One goal I have always had for Brain Training 101 is that it remains a friendly and welcoming place for all, and comments like yours truly encompass that. I receive many, many emails from readers who have recovered, are recovering or are currently suffering from a wide range of brain related issues, and when people come forward and share their experiences with this community, it provides a great sense of comfort. (More than you realize.) We all learn so much from each other's experiences, and I am so thankful you are here. Thank you so much for that.

I only can say it is a great thing to help the injured in many ways. Firstly and most important for me, is simply to accept our differences as "NORMAL PEOPLE." Don't assume we are slow or stupid, it seems to be automaticly associated with a brain injury and is not even close to the truth! Also, for those of us that were severely injured and ended up in a coma state. It is a false belief, by some, that were cannot see, know or recognize you. It becomes very frustrating when we cannot communicate with anyone, so having family and friends close is very healing!!! If a family or friend member is severely injuried plain old respect and lots of smiles is wonderful. Some of us really do feel the presence, so keep a positive attitude around us and we will heal quicker. To be truethful, I have lived with a brain injury for 10 years now.
