Celebrating Back to School Season with a little Ice Cream Sundae Party!! 🍦☀️📓
What’s your go-to ice cream topping?

Why does emotional spiraling happen after a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)? 🧠💥 It’s not "all in your head"—a TBI directly alters how the brain processes stress and regulates emotion.

Here’s what’s happening behind the scenes:

Frontal Lobe Vulnerability: Damage to frontal lobes makes it harder to keep small issues in context.

Disrupted Emotional Brakes: The connection between the amygdala (emotional hub) and prefrontal cortex (emotional brakes) can be cut or weakened, causing emotions to intensify fast.

Cognitive Fatigue: A tired brain has fewer mental resources left to buffer everyday stress.

Heightened Stress Sensitivity: The nervous system can get stuck in "fight or flight," overreacting to minor triggers.

Stuck Thoughts: Reduced cognitive flexibility leads to rumination and catastrophizing.

Neuro-optometric rehabilitation and vision therapy can help calm hyper-sensitive visual-neurological pathways to support complete brain recovery. 💙
