About this episode
Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist, specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. She has written numerous bestselling books on mental cognition and well-being, including her newest, Cleaning Up Your Mental Mess.
So when it comes to understanding what we can do with our brains and how to do it, Dr. Leaf is our go-to person!
Dr. Leaf listens to and relates to JJ’s story of her son's Traumatic Brain Injury and how many others worldwide are experiencing similar situations. And she reinforces one important notion: all hope is not lost.
Dr. Leaf discusses her theory called the Geodesic Information Processing theory, which covers topics like how we think, build memory, and learn, and how we can transform that information into tools and processes that have helped the lives of hundreds of thousands of individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementia, and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. She also touches on the important roles of supportive family and friends.
