This isn’t a random occurrence, there are 4 very real changes that are happening to the brain during the healing process that allow you to feel normal eventually. In this episode I’ll describe this milestone and 4 changes that make it possible.


If you enjoy learning about timelines, then there is a detailed timeline of healing and what to expect inside my community or as a client resource.
