 Real Talk: Unfiltered What does “resilience” really mean? For years, I thought it meant “pushing through.” Then a traumatic brain injury (TBI) shattered my old self and taught me that true strength is found in grace, not grit. This is my story of: Losing my voice literally: I called Portobello ("mushrooms-goblin-pasta”). Almost missing my son’s birthday… and the hug that saved me. Rebelling against doctors who said I’d “never recover past 70%.” Flying to India broken and finding peace in breath-work, yoga, and silence. Learning what healing really meansReal Talk: Unfiltered 社会科学

  • We Need To Talk - My Story: The Connection Between Pain, Focus, and Breath (How One Broken System Nearly Destroyed Me)

    We Need To Talk - My Story: The Connection Between Pain, Focus, and Breath (How One Broken System Nearly Destroyed Me)
    2025/08/07

    📌 TIMESTAMPS


    Real Talk Unfiltered


    00:00 - Introduction: The Connected Crisis

    We need to talk about pain, focus, and breath, and how discovering they're the same problem with the same solution changed everything


    01:07 - The Questions That Changed My Perspective

    How do I handle pain with breath work. How do I keep focus with sensory overload? These seemed like different problems I was wrong


    02:34 - What Is Going On Inside of Me

    I have Left Temporal Brain Damage, with Emotional Regulation Problems, Memorie lost, and Sensory Overloads. And the 24 hour pains


    04:40 - The Research Rabbit Hole

    Month 20 after my accident, still trying to understand why my brain was glitching daily. Nobody explained why everything felt disconnected yet connected


    06:35 - The Left Temporal Discovery

    Left temporal lobe injury where language, emotions, and sensory filtering live When damaged, it's like a computer virus corrupting multiple programs


    07:52 - The Hemisphere Disruption

    My left and right brain trying to dance to different songs. One hyperactive, one under-active. Pain wasn't just physical - my nervous system was stuck in permanent alarm mode


    11:03 - The Breakthrough Realisation

    Interconnection symptom clusters: Pain amplifies focus problems. Focus problems increase emotional dysregulation. And the Emotional dysregulation makes the pain worst It's one broken system, manifesting and reacting in three reactions


    12:20 - Rishikesh Breakthrough

    India, lying in bed after yoga, crying quietly. My teacher mentioned nervous system regulation through breath. Desperation led to breakthrough


    12:26 - The 1-4-2 Breathing Discovery

    Breathe in for 4, pauze for 16, exhale for 8. First time since my accident I could focus on just two thing without seventeen other inputs


    17:14 - The Three Game-Changing Techniques

    After that breakthrough, I became focused on breath work. These aren't just breathing exercises - they are my neurological medicine


    19:00 - Modified Nadi Shodhana

    Thumb closes right nostril, breathe in left 4 , close the nose with your left ring finger hold for 8, exhale right 6. Each nostril connects to opposite brain hemisphere


    23:52 - Modified Bhramari

    Thumbs in ears, fingers over eyes and face, hum like a bee. Vagal toning, brain tissue massage, reduces inflammation.


    28:28 - Daily Application System

    Knowing techniques vs. applying them in real life My morning system assessment and pain management protocols


    31:41 - Morning Pain Protocol & Early Warning System

    Squinting eyes, thousand-yard stare, then pain wave The moment I recognise this sequence, I NEED TO STOP


    34:18 - Focus & Sensory Overload Management

    Micro resets every 20 minutes small breathing practice

    30 minute work blocks. Social situations drain brains of people with a TBI, bathroom break to resets


    41:30 - The Science Behind Why It Works

    Neuroplasticity in action. Understanding WHY changers the HOW Controlled neurological input teaches damaged brains new patterns. Chemical and electrical rebalancing


    44:00 - Critical Recovery Points

    Start slowly, consistency beats intensity, listen to your system, track responses Your injured brain might feel overwhelmed initially


    45:19 - Redefining Control

    Control isn't making everything go back. It's working with reality instead of fighting a fake reality Pain is still there, but I can breathe through it


    46:52 - It I’sn’t about positive thinking or pretending everything is fine

    Your breathing can help you Teach your brain new pathways in your brain Remember it won’t always work, but thats fine It’s how we react to it that matters


    49:08 - Closing: Your Breath is Always Accessible

    I'm not saying breath-work cures brain injuries. Your breath is the one thing always available


    51:30 - Sometimes the Solution isn’t Multiple Treatments

    Sometimes it Just One Thing that brings you the Solution, listen to your body and to what your brain needs

    This is all my personal experience as I live with my TBI
