Episode 5: Fatigue - Brain tired not body tired

Released: 21/06/2024

In this episode, Neuro Speech and Language Therapist, Eleanor Woodward, and Neuropsychologist, Dr Alex Garfield, explain how the brain has to work that much harder following a brain injury to concentrate, process and sort out information, engage in conversations and make sense of the world around us.

Together, Paul and fellow brain injury survivor, Jules, describe how this additional cognitive load creates significant brain tiredness which can have a knock-on effect on their emotions and those around them. They illustrate how brain injury fatigue impacts their day-to-day life and provide tips on how we can keep our ‘battery’ charged throughout the day.
