Kelly Bouldin Darmofal suffered a severe TBI in 1992; currently she
holds a Masters in Special Education from Salem College, NC. Her memoir
Lost In My Mind: Recovering From Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) tells her
story of tragedy and triumph. Kelly will be teaching "TBI: An Overview
for Educators" at Salem College. Kelly's "tips" were learned during two
decades of recovery and perseverance; they include:
- Ways to avoid isolation and culture shock post-TBI
- Tips for staying organized in the face of instant chaos
- Strategies for caretakers and teachers of TBI survivors
- Life philosophies that reject despair
- How to relearn that shoes must match
- Why one alarm clock is never enough, and
- A breath of humor for a growing population with a "silent
illness"--TBI
Those who suffer from TBI should benefit from Kelly Darmofal's advice.
She speaks often of the value of a sense of humor in dealing with TBI
symptoms and quotes Viktor Frankl who believed that humor was one of the
"...soul's weapons in the fight for self preservation." I strongly
recommend her work.
--Dr. George E. Naff, NCC, LPC, Diplomate in Logotherapy
Kelly is a wonderful resource about TBI for survivors, caregivers,
teachers, and the entire community. The wisdom gained from her own
experience makes her believable; the frankness and sense of humor that
she reveals as she writes makes her authentic... Kelly and her
publications have become a trusted resource for our clients who are
surviving from a TBI.
