Thanks for your comments of appreciation!

For clarity I'll just add that Mark Sherry, himself a TBI survivor, is the one making this comment. Mark got his PhD after his brain injury and now is a vocal and welcomed spokesperson for the disability community.

Thank you so much for this video! I have experienced both the anger and the loss of shyness! There is something very freeing about it that most people don't understand. Perhaps I need to get myself a cape too! *lol*
