Neuroplasticity and TBI: Like PB and J

July 17, 2016 by Jeff Sebell 3 Comments

Neuroplasticity and TBI: Like PB and J

Peanut butter and jelly seem to have been born together; they're inseparable. Like ham and cheese. Or oreo cookies and milk. Believe it or not, brain injury also has a partner in crime; that one thing that is synonymous with brain injury.

We, as individuals, are set apart from one another by, first, how we handle our bad or hurtful experiences, and then, ... Read On
