Why PCS Symptoms Keep Becoming Stop Signs #PCSRecovery #PostConcussion

In this brief monologue, concussion survivor and recovery coach David Brimacombe explains that the strength of a person's underlying purpose—or "why"—determines how post‑concussion symptoms are perceived. With seven concussions over two decades of experience, he argues that a weak why turns symptoms into stop signs that halt progress, whereas a strong why reframes those same symptoms as useful information that can guide recovery. He advises listeners to first clarify their personal why before becoming pre‑occupied with the specific methods (the "how") or details (the "what") of concussion rehabilitation.
