TBI, Concussion & Post‑Injury Brain Changes
After a concussion or brain injury, it can feel like your brain never fully came back online. Brain reset and optimization can support recovery, clarity, and resilience alongside your existing medical care.
If Your Brain Hasn’t Felt the Same Since
Post‑concussion and TBI‑related changes can look like:
- Slower thinking or “lag” between thought and action
- Headaches, dizziness, or sensory overload
- Trouble concentrating or following conversations
- Increased irritability or emotional swings
- Fatigue after short periods of mental effort
- Feeling like you’re “not as sharp” or “not yourself” anymore
Often, test results look “fine,” but day‑to‑day life still doesn’t.
You’re not imagining it. Your brain has been working harder to do what used to be easy.
Your Brain Is Working Harder, Not Less
After injury, the brain can develop compensation patterns like:
- Overworking certain regions to make up for weaknesses
- Avoiding demanding tasks to conserve energy
- Getting overwhelmed easily by noise, lights, or multitasking
Even when scans are stable, functional patterns can still be inefficient.
Brain reset and optimization help the brain:
- Practice more efficient communication between regions
- Reduce some of the “noise” and overactivation that drain energy
- Support more stable focus, mood, and cognitive endurance
We always encourage you to stay in touch with your medical and rehab team; our work is designed to complement, not replace, medical care.
How Brain Reset Supports Recovery
For post‑concussion/TBI, we typically focus on:
- Supporting clearer thinking and reduced brain fog
- Improving mental endurance without as much crash or headache
- Supporting mood and stress resilience during recovery
- Helping the nervous system down‑shift out of chronic “alert” states
- Supporting sleep, which is critical for brain healing
Tools we may use:
- Dynamical neurofeedback for global regulation and resilience
- Linear neurofeedback for targeted pattern support
- tPBM light therapy to support cellular energy and blood flow in the brain
- HEG training for prefrontal function when attention and planning are affected
- BioMat infrared sessions for overall relaxation and physical recovery
Plans are always adapted to your tolerance levels; we move gently and adjust as your brain’s capacity grows.
In‑Person or At‑Home: Which Is Better After Brain Injury?
In‑Person Brain Reset (Colorado Springs) is often best if:
- You’re local and can tolerate visits to the office
- You want close monitoring, possible QEEG, and access to multiple tools
- Your providers want coordinated care and clear records
At‑Home Brain Reset is often best if:
- Travel, light, or noise make leaving home difficult
- You want to integrate short sessions into your day when you feel up to it
- Family members also want access to training and support
Both are non‑invasive, drug‑free options that can be tailored to your current capacity and adjusted as you improve.
Not sure which fits you best? That’s exactly what the Brain Plan Call is for.
What Clients With Anxiety & Stress Notice
“I used to have panic moments 3–5 times a day and slept 2–3 hours a night. After sessions, my mind finally calmed down. I sleep, I don’t obsess, and I can actually let things go. It’s made a tremendous impact on my life, my marriage, and my parenting.”
“At the lowest point of my life, life felt so dreadful I began welcoming death… After brain training I finally experienced a sense of peace. My thoughts became positive instead of constantly filled with war and abuse. I feel hopeful again.”
“Neurofeedback has been so helpful to my life struggles with anxiety and feeling overwhelmed – it has calmed me and helped so much with thinking clearer.”
"I started with Raquel when I was dealing with significant insomnia and anxiety. It was affecting my life every day and I was starting to feel like I was broken beyond repair… I recently remarked to a friend that I feel ‘the most like me’ I’ve felt in a long time. The anxiety is so much less and I feel like I have enough skills to manage it so much better.”
You Don’t Have to Manage This Alone
If anxiety and chronic stress have been running your life, it’s not because you’re weak. Your brain has just been stuck in protective habits for along time.
We’ll help you:
- Understand what your brain has been doing and why
- Choose a realistic starting plan (in‑person, at‑home, or tools‑first)
- Support your brain in building calmer, more balanced patterns over time
