Allowing me to Change

After TBI, changes in both day-to-day routines and how things are done are needed in order to make space for things like rehabilitation, changes in abilities, and rest. Acceptance and allowances for these changes can influence how easily the person is able to navigate their recovery. Recognition by multiple people in the person's life that the changes are needed can allow for acceptance and allowances. Indeed, other people (e.g. family, work colleagues) often need to change their own tasks and/or routines to make this possible. Finding out what works may involve experimentation, and changes need to take into account what is most meaningful and important for all the people involved.
