I discussed my neural plasticity Q -
"Neural
plasticity (the concept on which Feldenkrais, vision,
and cognitive behavioral therapies, as well as conventional VRT - vestibular
rehab therapy,
with Ron last night - here's what we thought
about:
1) excellent medical professionals - fortunately
I ultimately ended up with this, but it took time... when I was finally ready, and
recognized I needed to see a psychiatrist, Dr. Mirsky was the one who recommended I work with a cognitive behavioral therapy specialist... Ron helped me an excellent one - Christina... also see #2...
2) speedy diagnosis - I did not have this...
and this is still, based on conversations I've had with others, a problem particularly
with vestibular and vision problems with adults... my Feldenkrais practitioner/OT
Joyce was the one who directed me to Dr. Margolis, developmental optometrist and
a friend had directed me to Joyce...
3) time - so it's taken me a long time to put ALL
the pieces together, after a bad year (2017), and feel like I'm making progress
again... this is not how health insurance companies view rehab...... Coverage can be a problem... I'm very
thankful I have financial support where insurance coverage is lacking...
4) for some people - a friend reminded me of
this - there is brain damage which simply does not repair... Very thankful I
don't have this problem...
