Bøger af Mark Tullius

Der ehemalige Kämpfer und Fußballspieler der Ivy League, Mark Tullius, erforscht traumatische Hirnverletzungen (SHT) und chronische traumatische Enzephalopathie (CTE), um seinen Freunden zu helfen, die einen Hirnschaden erlitten haben. Auf seiner Reise entdeckte er, dass sein Gehirn nicht so belastbar war, wie er dachte, und seine Definition von "gut" war weit von der Wahrheit entfernt. Als Tests und Gehirnscans bewiesen, dass er seinem Gehirn ziemlich viel Schaden zugefügt hatte, kämpfte er mit der Akzeptanz, machte es aber zu einer Mission, glücklicher und gesünder zu werden, als er es die meiste Zeit seines Lebens gewesen war.Wenn Sie jemals traumatische Hirnverletzungen oder emotionale Traumata hatten, kann Ihnen dieses Buch helfen, sich selbst genauer zu betrachten und Ihnen Wege aufzuzeigen, Ihr Gehirn zu rehabilitieren und zu heilen. Zu diesen Symptomen gehören: Denkstörungen (kognitive Beeinträchtigung), impulsives Verhalten, Depression oder Apathie, Verlust des Kurzzeitgedächtnisses, Schwierigkeiten bei der Planung und Ausführung von Aufgaben (Führungsfunktion), emotionale Instabilität, Drogenmissbrauch und substanceSelbstmordgedanken oder -verhalten."Mark hat eine sehr intensive Analyse der Ursachen, Erscheinungsformen und Behandlungsmethoden für SHT durchgeführt. Seine leidenschaftliche Herangehensweise hat mich dazu inspiriert, meine eigene Wissensbasis zu diesem Thema zu überprüfen, sowohl als Arzt für gemischte Kampfkünste als auch als Kampfveteran. Dieses Buch ist ein Muss für jeden, der SHT und CTE auf einer tieferen Ebene verstehen möchte" - Mike Simpson, MD, Major, Autor der US-Armee (im Ruhestand) von Honed: Finding Your Edge as a Man Over 40 "Ein herzzerreißend ehrlicher Blick auf den ultimativen Albtraum - den Verrat am eigenen Körper.
