Lifelines: The Brain Injury Support Groupmeeting at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas
The May meeting is scheduled for Monday, the 11th, from 6:30 – 8:00 PM (directions below).
Our discussion will be on how mind-body skills can be used to help in the recovery process from brain injury.
What are mind-body skills?
Mind-body skills include guided imagery, visualization, and meditation. Concentration skills can be practised as one becomes more conscious of his/her environment. Feeling state imagery helps one relax by imagining a safe and relaxing place; end state imagery encourages one to visualize success at an upcoming task, e.g. speaking in front of a crowd or even a trip to the grocery store. Mind-body skills include stress management techniques and exercises to foster self-awareness. It is important to engage in mind-body skills in order to shift focus from a hectic life to being present in the moment.
Discussion includes sharing aspects of daily experiences, issues that are important to you, and exploring insights that you have about yourself. If you have found any mind-body skills to be particular helpful and want to share with the group, you are most welcome!

When turning into the campus from eastbound Walnut Hill, the best route to take may be the driveway prior to the light for the main entrance. The driveway curves away from the main entrance (direction towards North Central Expressway) and the entry to the parking lot is on the left (gated entry). The Fogelson Building has a small dome on top and is next to the Margot Perot Center.
Using the underground parking is the easiest way to reach the meeting location; if entering from the main floor, cross the foyer (past the stairs) and take the elevators to the ground floor. Classroom A is to the left off the elevators.
Remember that parking is now free! Be sure to get your validation sticker at the start of the meeting.
