After falling on my head, I suffered from concussion symptoms for a long time. In addition to the physical discomfort, I found it mentally difficult to accept that I was less capable than before, to deal with uncertainty, to be patient and to take rest.
GETaHEAD put me in touch with Lian. As an expert by experience, she understands the problems you face and knows how to give you appropriate advice. During our series of conversations, Lian’s empathy and flexibility were particularly helpful. She always had a keen sense of what I needed during a conversation. Whereas our initial conversations focused mainly on dealing with my symptoms, as I started to feel better, she helped me to rebuild my work and personal life rhythm. She always gave me practical advice, but also engaged in more in-depth conversations that really got me thinking.
A concussion requires time and rest. But it also helps to have someone who thinks along with you about how you can get back to your old self, at your own pace. I am very grateful to Lian for her patience and help, and the wonderful conversations we had
