Attending an intensive program to treat PTS can feel overwhelming, especially if you've had unsuccessful experiences in the past. But feeling uneasy and reluctant is normal, but sticking through the process is half the battle. Ultimately, embracing the discomfort is a sign you're on the right track. This quote was pulled from a testimonial of a Warrior's Ascent alumus, highlighting his life-changing experience at the program.

🦅🌎⚓ USMC Veteran Bill Lipke shares his transformative journey with Mind-Eye Institute's brain glasses, overcoming 20 years of injury-related challenges. Bill struggled for 20 years with the residual effects of head and left-eye injuries that he sustained during infantry field exercises at Camp Pendleton, California. He recalls thinking the symptoms would be his “new normal — the way life is going to be,” but that was before he learned about the work of the Mind-Eye Institute. "The Mind-Eye Institute has made me realize that one’s life does not have to remain in the ‘new normal’... You have alternatives... What they've done for me has transformed my life; it has [positively] changed my relationship with my wife, my children, my co-workers, my friends. I am actually becoming the person I once was before my [head] injury." 📖 Read his full story: https://lnkd.in/gziWv_ej 📞 If you or someone you know have suffered a brain injury or just feel "something is off," connect with one of our patient advocates today and see if coming to our clinic would be a good fit. https://lnkd.in/gisbdwFG or call 847-984-3156 ext. 1 #veterans #braininjury #braininjuryawareness #braininjuryawarenessmonth
