Train To Regain: Holistic Stroke Recovery

The Need

A stroke can be a devastating experience for people who survive it and for family members. Part of the challenge, aside from the physical and mental deficits related to the stroke, is that there are no set or definitive ways to regain function after a stroke.

Don Mottin, a clinical hypnotherapist, experienced a stroke in his forties. When Dr. Silverstein interviewed him in 2002 about the stroke, he stated that the most frustration resulted from the fact that his “team” of professionals did not include him in the goal-setting plan. He wanted to know, more than anything else, what he could do to recover faster and to improve function. No member of the staff had answers for him nor could they give him a timeframe in which to work at his own pace.

A person might have physical, occupational, and speech therapies, that traditionally assist patients towards recovery. Of course, these therapies can help to deal with the physical aspects of the stroke. But there are no guarantees and little direction for what you can do personally to help yourself, thus adding to your confusion.

According to Johnny Seitz ( Stroke Connection, May/June, 2006), the trainer who assisted entertainer Dick Clark on the road to recovery, Dick was told by physicians that “whatever mobility had been recovered in his first six months was pretty much all that he could expect” (p. 21). However, when Clark’s six-month sentence was up, he remained completely disabled.

Have you been told that you only had six months, or a year or two? In this situation, what are you to do and how are you to do it, so you can participate in your own recovery?
