It’s called “This Hits Home” and it’s about the prevalence of TBIs in domestic violence survivors as well as the sad fact that many aren’t screened for head injuries and they are the ones who have more trouble recovering. I haven’t seen it yet but will do a review, when I do.</span><br /> <br /> <strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Here are some relevant excerpts from this article.</span></strong></div> <div> <h3><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The Silent Epidemic of DV-TBI</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">One in four American women will experience severe violence from a domestic partner in their lifetime, often resulting in significant trauma to the head and neck. <strong>Over 75% of domestic violence survivors suffer single or repeated <a href= "https://www.americanbrainfoundation.org/diseases/traumatic-brain-injury/">traumatic brain injuries</a>, most of which go unreported. Despite these alarming statistics, DV-TBI is still critically under-researched.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">“I don’t think the connection [between TBI and DV] has been made on a wide scale,” Scotia says. This is due in part to the lack of awareness and education about the signs and symptoms of TBI, particularly with regard to instances of domestic violence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Brain banks collect brain and tissue samples from donors after their death, distributing these samples to researchers and labs across the United States. However, <strong>current brain banks do not have enough samples from women with documented histories of DV-TBI and CTE, making it difficult to research the link between the two.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>“It seems obvious that women who suffer repeated TBIs from DV are going to get the same neurodegenerative brain diseases as men,”</strong> Scotia says. “But it’s hard to distinguish whether Alzheimer’s disease, CTE, post-concussion syndrome, multiple mental health struggles, or another disease or condition is the main issue for them. <strong>Add the fact that nobody wants to talk about DV, and we’re getting very little research on women’s brains.”</strong></span></p> <h1><a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8773525/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-size: 18pt;">Update on Domestic Violence and Traumatic Brain Injury: A Narrative Review</span></a></h1> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Full article here:</strong></span> <a href= "https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8773525/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style= "font-size: 14pt;"><strong>https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8773525/</strong></span></a><br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14pt;">💌 Let me know what you’re experiencing.

It's time for a movement where we stop obsessing over abusers and start celebrating ourselves!</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In this powerful episode, I explain why focusing on "red flags" and manipulation tactics can actually keep us stuck in hypervigilance and fear. Instead, I'm inviting you to share your wins - big or small - as we shift the spotlight onto YOUR healing journey.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Whether you've just taken a peaceful bubble bath despite the text bombing, established a boundary, or won a court case, your story matters and can inspire others. Join me in creating a community where survivors lift each other up instead of staying trapped in negativity.</span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">📱 <strong>Share your win</strong> (anonymously if you prefer): <a href= "https://theaudaciouslife.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://theaudaciouslife.com</a></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">🎙️ <strong>Leave a voice message through SpeakPipe on our website</strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;">📧 <strong>Or email your story for me to share from the website</strong> <a href= "https://theaudaciouslife.com" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://theaudaciouslife.com</a></span></div> <div> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Your experience is valid, and you are not alone.</strong><br /> <br /> Together, we can change the conversation from fear to empowerment.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>I'm looking forward to hearing some examples you're proud of. 🏆</strong></span><br /> <br /> <strong>What choice did you make that...</strong><br /> <br /> ➡️ protected your boundary<br /> ➡️ set a boundary<br /> ➡️ helped you move yourself forward in life vs. allowing the abuser to make you feel small and paralyzed.<br /> 🛀🏻 allowed you to feel good 💃🏽<br /> ❣️👩👧👧 supported the stability of your children<br /> <br /> I'm looking forward to reading or listening to your shares and most importantly, sharing them with our community so we can be inspired and celebrate with you! 🥳❤️❤️❤️<br /> <br /> Until the next one.
