Imagine a farm motorcycle accident turning your world upside down. That's what happened to William Cole, a 25-year-old farmer from Bookaar, Western Victoria. In this episode, William opens up about his journey after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) in 2017. He reflects on how the accident has reshaped his life in unexpected, yet positive ways. From newfound maturity and a deeper appreciation for life to a stronger sense of self-love and respect for others, William's story is one of transformation.
He shares his daily mantra, 'more understanding, more caring, more respectful', which guides him through interactions with others. Journaling has played a crucial role in William's recovery. He encourages everyone to 'just start writing' as a way to process thoughts and emotions. This simple habit has been instrumental in his healing journey. William also highlights the importance of community support.
Working closely with his neuropsychologist, he has developed ideas to benefit everyone in his district, underscoring the power of collective effort in recovery. With a positive mindset and a supportive community, William believes that challenges can be overcome. His story offers practical tips and insights for anyone recovering from a traumatic brain injury. Whether it's embracing new habits or finding strength in community, William's experiences provide valuable lessons for all.
