- Summary:
-
“The extraordinarily courageous story reveals the incredible plasticity of the human spirit as much as the plasticity of the human brain. From a confusing and terrifying existence, to international regard, Dr. Christine Durham MED shares the moments that changed her life in Unblocking my Brain. After a devastating car crash, Christine Durham’s brain was locked. In her mind she knew how to walk, communicate and care for herself, but frustratingly this information was hidden from her and she could not find the key. Her independence gone and her life was shut down. For Christine, trying to navigate the brain injury experiences was like negotiating a labyrinth with no clues in sight. Using unconventional methods, Christine was able to rebuild her life and become the inspiration leader she is today. Unlocking my Brain shares her path to recovery with others who are in search of answers, understanding and acceptance. After her brain injury, Christine Durham went on to receive a PhD in Health Science, win BrainLink Woman of the Year, as well as Victorian Senior Australian of the Year and is an internationally recognised speaker on Acquired Brain Injury.”--Back cover.
