6 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
Once someone's had a traumatic brain injury and I'm your dad with 3-1, that's pretty much that's,
you know, we've written off and we were trained, as I said, to compensate.
So I said, okay, well, there's hardly any research in the 80s on brain injury and on how to...
treat it and so I thought okay well I'm gonna start there and so I worked with people that had been in comas for like longer than two weeks and at that stage
if you in a coma for longer than eight hours the brain damage was considered irreversible.
Now in this day and age we know that's not the case but in the 80s that was the going philosophy so it's completely resuming upstream when it came to this concept.
Anyway I showed with my subjects that with using your mind and not in any weird way.
It's a very systematic, deliberate,
intentional mind management in different ways and different brain building and dealing with emotions in just different ways.
Same sort of process that you can actually change this.
And so some of my first,
my very first case study was a girl who was 16 at the time of an accident and she had lost a whole year of school written off as a vegetable.
I mean, that's what the doctors used to say in those days,
which is a terrible thing to say to someone.
Anyway, long story short, after eight months, not only did she manage to She came around,
I started working with her when she was conscious and functioning sort of at a second grade level.
And she wanted to her goal was to get her goal of greatness,
was to get back to finish 12th grade and with her peer group.
Now that was an impossible task.
