I contacted Weeks to talk about the slow effort of rebuilding a mental capacity that was once "automatic" in her mind. I had no idea how much experience she had navigating through other invisible illnesses and her views on the importance of mental health and sleep to help recovery. We spoke a lot about the grief that comes with brain injury, and how the different levels of "invisible" healing interplay through the brain injury recovery process.

Experiencing My Brain is a podcast devoted to detailed discussion with brain injury survivors about their experiences, problems, and ways that they have found to navigate their lives. These stories are important to help the non brain injured world make sense of the problems that come with brain injury.
