Stroke: Tricks of the Trade (The Successful Stroke Survivor Book 2)
This book is Volume 2 in the series of 5 taken from best-selling book and manual The Successful Stroke Survivor by Tom Balchin. The 5 Volumes are all that those who have suffered a stroke and have reached the end of formal therapy need to recover AT HOME after therapy finishes. This Volume covers the longest chapter: Chapter 7. It is set as a Q and A format, dealing with the most major psychological issues that the stroke survivor who is seeking to do better in his or her activities of daily life face. Psychological issues can be huge a barrier to considering trying to do some work on physical limitations (which Books 4 and 5 show you how to do) are discussed in a way you will have never heard about before, from a stroke survivor who successfully rehabilitated himself and thousands of others with his creative problem-solving approach to motor difficulties. These issues are vital. You can't re-train' right if you haven't got your mind-set right. The author shows you what to do and what not to do. He answers some big questions you will have such as: 'am I now disabled?; 'will I ever rebuild my former function and ability?' 'what Is success in terms of stroke rehabilitation?' are discussed in a hard-hitting, reality-based yet humorous way. The experiences relayed are all there for your taking and will save you a massive amount of time. The author answers other big questions such as: how can I get motivated? Do I have to work hard? He then goes on to explain exactly what kind of knowledge sources you should be looking at as you seek to do better... and what role teachers, therapists or instructors, books, magazines, journals and the internet can play in the mission to conquer stroke over the long-term.
