Episode 17 More Than An Injury Part 1

More Than an Injury, delves into the often overlooked mental and emotional aspects of recovering from an injury. Rene Pistorius highlights with me how the recovery journey is filled with frustration, stress, and unpredictable ups and downs. The episode emphasizes the invisible side of injury — the mental toll it takes, including anxiety, stress, and fear that can accompany physical recovery. Additionally, it touches on the guilt parents, particularly mothers, might feel when their child is injured and the emotional pain of watching them struggle (part 2 dives deeper into the emotions of parenting through injury). Throughout the discussion, advice is shared on the importance of having a strong support system, maintaining communication and a social circle. All of which can make all the difference in navigating both the physical and emotional challenges of recovery.
