The Psychological Impact of Recovering from Sports Injuries
Update: 2024-07-15
Description
Athletes encounter a host of psychological hurdles when recovering from injury. In this episode we dig into the challenges of coping mentally during recovery, decisions to re-commit to playing, awareness cues for realistic expectations, trusting our body to perform again, and the risks when athletes choose/are told they can no longer play. I have worked with dozens of athletes in a range of these circumstances. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to include a mental health professional as a part of the recovery team.
Episode highlights:
- Personal athletic injuries
- Normalizing psychological reactions
- Coping with big decisions
- Realistic expectations during recovery
- Risks of no structure
- The role of a mental health professional
- What to do if an athlete discontinues playing.
