In this brief segment, concussion specialist David Brimacombe explains a cognitive reframing technique for post-concussion syndrome (PCS) recovery. He describes how the brain maintains a predictive model that can label a person as "symptomatic" or "sedentary," perpetuating symptoms. By consciously adopting an identity of being active rather than sedentary, the brain updates its prediction model, reducing the likelihood of symptom flare‑ups and facilitating a smoother return to activity. The advice emphasizes mental self‑labeling as a therapeutic tool to break the cycle of symptom‑driven inactivity.
