In this video, David Brimacombe argues that the way individuals with post‑concussion syndrome (PCS) label themselves can become a hidden barrier to healing. He explains that many people unconsciously adopt the identity of “someone with PCS,” and this self‑definition becomes deeply entrenched, influencing daily choices and how they explain their limitations to others (e.g., wearing sunglasses indoors, avoiding outings). By treating the diagnosis as a core part of who they are, they inadvertently reinforce symptoms and restrict recovery. Brimacombe suggests that recognizing and loosening this identity can open a path toward better outcomes.
