Faster, More Effective Concussion Recovery with Psychological Support

Recovering from a Concussion? Get the Support You Need

Concussions can impact every aspect of your life—your mood, sleep, focus, and overall well-being. Research shows that incorporating psychological support into your recovery plan can significantly improve outcomes, reduce symptoms, and help you heal faster than relying on physical rest alone.

Why Psychological Support Matters in Concussion Recovery

Studies have found that psychological interventions, such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, can help regulate emotions, improve sleep, and enhance cognitive function after a brain injury (EMDRIA). Psychological support can also help manage stress, which is a major factor in post-concussion symptoms (APA).

How Psychological Therapy Helps

  • Reduces emotional distress: Address feelings of anxiety, irritability, and depression that often accompany concussions.

  • Enhances cognitive function: Improve attention, processing speed, and memory.

  • Supports better sleep: Overcome the sleep disturbances that commonly follow head injuries.

  • Provides education & reassurance: Understanding your symptoms helps you recover faster and reduces unnecessary stress.

The Best Order for Recovery

Research suggests that early intervention leads to better outcomes. Seeking psychological support as soon as possible can help you develop coping strategies, manage symptoms, and prevent prolonged post-concussion syndrome.

Evidence-Based Methods for Concussion Recovery

  • EMDR Therapy: Helps reprocess trauma related to the injury and improves emotional regulation.

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addresses negative thought patterns and anxiety.

  • Somatic Therapy: Supports nervous system regulation and physical symptom relief.

  • Mindfulness & Stress Reduction Techniques: Lowers stress levels and promotes healing.
