Post-Concussion Syndrome with Catherine - Australia and New Zealand
Description
In this episode, Flic Manning chats with Catherine Hanna, a proud Sunflower and road safety advocate. Catherine shares her journey with post-concussion syndrome, the misconceptions surrounding an invisible brain injury, and how writing poetry has helped her process trauma and rebuild her identity.
• Post-concussion syndrome can occur without hitting your head or losing consciousness
• Brain injuries don't always show up on CT scans as damage can be at a cellular level
• The "mild" in mild traumatic brain injury refers to severity classification, not symptom impact
• Catherine manages her condition by wearing earplugs, planning rest breaks, and avoiding overstimulating environments
• The Sunflower lanyard helps Catherine carry earplugs and indicate her hidden disability
