The goal of the Experiencing My Brain Podcast is to interview people about their invisible brain injury problems. In this recording Dr. Maria Romanas MD/ PhD interviews me.

I share about my TBI experiences and try to communicate the ways my symptoms manifested. I appreciate Maria's interest in my history and progress, because brain injury is so hard to deal with and so often misunderstood. In the first decade I was dealing with alexithymia with brain injury, so feeling anything about life with a brain injury was difficult if not impossible. I appreciate how Maria acknowledges that aspect of my process (most people don't get that). This discussion is evidence for me, proof that I have been through something most people don’t have a clue how to think about.

In part 2 of this discussion, I interview Maria, she lays out a lot about her brain injury journey, how she worked to improve after a crazy accident, what her main problems have been with a brain injury as she pursued her PhD and then MD, and so much more.
