Brain Heal Thyself A Caregiver's New Approach to Recovery from Stroke Aneurysm And Traumatic Brain Injuries Author: Madonna Siles, Lawrence J. Beuret When Eve suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm, Madonna Siles, her housemate and friend, too quickly found herself making critical short- and long-term medical care decisions without any help. When the insurance and financial resources ran out and the conventional therapy providers discharged zombie-like Eve to the homecare of a solitary caregive...  more »r, both their futures seemed hopeless. Instead of giving up, Siles drew on life experience and her marketing career to develop a rehabilitation program that harnessed the power of the subconscious mind. Using motivational techniques borrowed from the advertising world, she appealed to Eve's subconscious to bypass the brain damage and restore normal functioning. In three short years, even the doctors were amazed at Eve's recovery and return to a near-normal life. Part memoir, part recovery manual, Brain, Heal Thyself is a guidebook for thousands of shell-shocked individuals who suddenly find themselves having to make life and death decisions for those they love. With humor, warmth, and arresting honesty, Siles's lively narrative closely examines not only the patient's recovery, but also the crucial role of caregivers—and the emotional, financial, and practical pressures they face.  « less Post This Book Login | Register ISBN-13: 9781571744760 ISBN-10: 1571744762 Publication Date: 6/30/2006 Pages: 221 Rating: Currently 5/5 Stars.  1 5 stars, based on 1 rating Publisher: Hampton Roads Publishing Company Book Type: Paperback Members Wishing: 1 Reviews: Amazon | Write a Review
