Three weeks ago, I decided to finally focus on something I had been neglecting for years: my neck. After sustaining both a concussion and whiplash eight years ago, I never gave my neck the attention it truly needed — until now. Let's dive into this Watson Headache Approach.

One of the most unexpected parts of concussion recovery — and honestly, one of the hardest — is the loneliness that comes with it. Not just the physical kind, like being stuck at home or canceling plans for the third time that week.But the emotional kind. The kind no one really talks about. The kind that whispers, “No one really gets what I’m going through.”

I want to share a little story about something I struggled with — maybe you have too. After my therapist gave me some exercises, I went all in. I pushed myself hard, giving 200%. I thought if I just worked hard enough, I’d get better faster.

When I first started healing from my concussion, I thought it would be a straight line. Rest, eat well, do the “right things” — and slowly but surely, I’d feel better. But that’s not what happened.

There were days when I felt completely stuck. I wasn’t doing much — just resting, lying in a dark room, avoiding screens — but it felt like I was doing nothing. Like I was wasting time. I questioned myself constantly:

After my concussion, I thought rest would come naturally.But night after night, I found myself lying awake — wired, restless, and frustrated. Even though I’d practiced breathwork and meditation for years, my nervous system just wouldn’t settle. My thoughts kept spiraling, and sleep felt out of reach. Then I discovered something unexpected: a small, intuitive breathing device called moonbird.

There I was, Sunday morning, enjoying my oat bowl with banana. I felt a bit restless, like I always do when I push myself outside my comfort zone. But there was also a feeling of excitement. What if… maybe I can actually do this? And when it works out, it’s proof again that I’m capable of more than my brain tells me—especially while healing from a concussion.

On May 23rd, it was my 8 year concussion anniversary. So eight years – it's a long time. Eight years ago, I was driving home from the station together with a friend on my scooter, and I got into an accident. I sustained a whiplash, a concussion. At first, I thought, “Okay, everything is okay. I'm lucky.”

A member of our community once asked: "Can a concussion affect relationships?" I loved this question. Not because it brought joy, but because it hit so close to home. I had dealt with this for so long. And I know I’m not alone. So in this blog, I’ll share my personal story about how concussions changed my friendships and the way I connect with others.

As we all know, relaxing after a concussion isn’t always easy. That’s why I often look for ways to calm my nervous system.

Getting the rest my brain needs has definitely been one of my hardest struggles since the accident. I often get the question: how do you rel
