The Protective Barrier in Traumatic Brain Injury: How I understand TBI (Part 3 of 4)

In part 3 of 4, I talk about how the reactivation of universal fears by brain-injury induced regression. Case examples are discussed.
When all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail. Learn how, early in my training, I jumped to a (very) wrong conclusion when, with "blinders on", I focused narrowly on the psychological meaning of a sudden-onset illness.
What is your understanding of traumatic brain injury? Why do similar impacts to the brain have different outcomes? Learn how each person’s unique Protective Barrier - composed of biological, psychological, and social factors - influences the outcome of traumatic brain injury.
