Nobody talks enough about the identity shift that can happen after a concussion.
You go from being the person who could do everything…
To the person who has to think about everything.
Work.
School.
Parenting.
Exercise.
Social events.
The harder we try to push through symptoms, the more disconnected we can feel from the version of ourselves we’re trying to get back to.
And that can be one of the most difficult parts of recovery.
If this resonates with you, know that you’re not alone.
Recovery isn’t just about reducing symptoms.
It’s about rebuilding confidence, trust, and identity.
