In this brief monologue, David Brimacombe shares his personal experience of hitting a prolonged plateau during his post-concussion recovery. He describes the feeling of making progress up a metaphorical mountain, only to become stuck midway for several months, unable to advance toward full recovery. Recognizing that many others may have faced similar stagnation, he emphasizes that the plateau is merely a temporary rut and suggests that a gentle push or nudge can help re‑ignite progress and move toward the summit of recovery.

A plateau looked like this. I was climbing that mountain of recovery. I felt like I was making gains. I was way better than what I was when I started, but for some reason I just stalled. I was stuck in the middle of the mountain. I could see the top, but I could not reach it. I could not move. I was incapacitated by something. I did not know what. This was my plateau and it lasted a while. We're talking months. Now, I'm sure a lot of you have felt this way. Let me tell you that this rut is only that. It is only a rut. You need a gentle push, a gentle nudge to help you get going in the right direction.
