Craig's Tale
My name is Craig J. Phillips. I am a traumatic brain injury survivor and a
master’s level rehabilitation counselor. I sustained an open skull fracture with
right frontal lobe damage and remained in a coma for 3 weeks at the age of 10 in
August of 1967. I underwent brain and skull surgery after waking from the coma.
Follow-up cognitive and psyche / social testing revealed that I would not be
able to succeed beyond high school. In 1967 Neurological Rehabilitation was not
available to me, so I had to teach myself how to walk, talk, read, write and
speak in complete sentences. I completed high school on time and went on to
obtain both my undergraduate and graduate degrees. For an in depth view of my
process please read my post, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/2007/02/18/my-journey-thus-far/
Through out my lifetime I developed strategies to overcome many obstacles and in
so doing I have achieved far beyond all reasonable expectations. On February 6,
2007 at the encouragement of a friend I created Second Chance to Live. Second
Chance to Live, which is located at http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com
presents topics in such a way to encourage, motivate and empower the reader to
live life on life’s terms. I believe our circumstances are not meant to keep us
down, but to build us up. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, I speak from my
experience, strength and hope. As a professional, I provide information to
encourage, motivate and empower both disabled and non-disabled individuals to
not give up on their process. Please read my post, http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/2007/04/18/the-power-of-identification/
My interest is to provide encouragement, hope, motivation and empowerment to
survivors and their families.
Please encourage your readers to visit Second Chance to Live at http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com
and consider adding Second Chance to Live to your web site as a useful resource
and placing a notice in your newsletter.
Thank you for your time and kindness.
Have a simply phenomenal day!
