In this brief monologue, the speaker argues that repeatedly focusing on one’s pre‑injury self and the desire to return to a former way of life may feel comforting in the moment, but it actively rehearses those thoughts in the brain. This rehearsal deepens and widens the associated neural pathways, causing the brain to continue perceiving the individual as that past identity—not only now but also in the future—thereby impeding genuine recovery and the formation of a new post‑PCS identity.
