A Decade of Healing Post TBI

This is a space for me to share the different lessons, challenges, tools and resources I used to heal after my traumatic brain injury on New Year’s Day 2014.

I experienced a handful of traumatic events before that injury. I also had a few events after that injury.

This is space isn’t to share the details of my hard times. I want to get into writing how I pulled myself out of a life a deep depression and anxiety.

My intention is to condense what I share here into a book. I want to get it out all out, and then analyze and summarize.

My intention is to share my story for perhaps inspiration for others. I do not intend to hurt anyone who as hurt me, nor bring shame or negativity to any situation or person. If I do make anyone feel uneasy, I would love to have a conversation and share our perspectives, with hopes of finding common ground.

Although I have been hurt by many people over a long span of time, I no longer hold ill will for anyone. I am working on compasion and forgiviness.

Hurt people hurt people. If you felt ever felt hurt by me, I am sorry. If you ever hurt me, I see how you were in the space you were when you said or did what was painful.

Love and gratitude to all those who come to see how I made lemonade.

I am Heather Swart. I have lived a unique life with unique situations. I have a history of working hard, as well as playing hard. My decisions have lead me to where I am now, and I love my life. It is strange to say that I love my life, and mean it. This is a new feeling for me, and I am working on believing it is true and that the next shoe won’t drop. I have lived a life being a victim, which has caused many issues. I am working on leaving victimhood and entering a life of manifestation and abundance. I have learned over time, we really do create our own realties. This is the story of how I created a reality that I love.
