Episode 2: Communication - "I'm done with this conversation!"

Released: 22/05/2024


Paul has a background in radio presenting and fortunately, following his accident, he has maintained his ability to speak fluently and articulately.


Nevertheless, this episode delves deeper into the fundamental cognitive skills required to engage appropriately and effectively with our conversational partners and the amount of energy a person’s brain uses in having to relearn these skills again.


Paul’s Neuro Speech and Language Therapist, Eleanor Woodward, beautifully illustrates the concept of ‘cognitive communication’ and reveals the complexities of our conversations with others.
