- Brain Injury May Reverse Pre-Injury Trauma Work
Personal Perspective: Trauma can reanimate after a brain injury. I found that this type of “unhealing” is not discussed during neuro-rehab.
- Brain Injury Grief: Dealing With Unreasonable Demands
Personal Perspective: We with brain injury don’t have to accept blame for how our brain injury and resulting grief expresses itself.
- The Effect of Family History on Brain Injury
Brain injury destroys your role in your family, and your family history affects how you and your family members react to your injury.
- Joy When in Despair
Personal Perspective: Joy is a state, not an emotion. Despair may consume every aspect of our thoughts and emotions, but joy exists, waiting for us to call it up into the light.
- Mattering After Brain Injury
A Personal Perspective: For people with brain injury, mattering to others is not only about being valued; it’s also about being given the chance to recover to our full potential.

- Zoroastrian Orality: An Addendum
Expanding on the previous post, I share what I learned about adding new material to oral texts so that novel hearers can follow, remember, and learn it.
- Zoroastrian Orality, Customs, and Ecology Course: An Intro
Introductions and overviews may sound like an easy couple of hours, but the first two hours of this class peppered us with new concepts about oral traditions and a footnote on women in the Avesta.
