Unlocking My Brain; Through the labyrinth of Acquired Brain Injury

by Christine Durham

This extraordinarily courageous story reveals the incredible plasticity of the human spirit as much as the plasticity of the human brain. From a confusing and terrifying existence, to international regard, Dr. Christine Durham MEd shares the moments that changed her life.

After a devastating car crash, Christine Durham's brain was locked. In her mind she knew how to walk, communicate and care for herself, but frustratingly this information was hidden from her and she could not find the key. Her independence was gone and her life was shut down.

For Christine, trying to navigate the brain injury experience was like negotiating a labyrinth with no clues in sight. Using unconventional methods, Christine was able to to rebuild her life and become the inspirational leader she is today. This book shares her path to recovery with others who are in search of answers, understanding and acceptance.

Un peu mémoire un peu journal un peu recherché scientifique. L’histoire suit ma grand-mère qui a survécu de justesse à un accident de voiture mortel. Elle a documenté ses sentiments et appris des années plus tard que l’accident à cause une lésion cérébrale. Elle se sent loin des sa corps et doucement appris qu’il y’a pas des recherche concernent acquired brain injury. De present, elle est toujours une voix d’une blessure parfois oubliée. Elle est trop fresh ma nannie
