Here's how I handle the "everyday variety" knocks to the head.

If I didn't give a bump a second thought pre pcs I work real hard to dismiss any symptoms from a post pcs bump, they are anxiety.

What you could tolerate pre injury most likely you can tolerate post injury without injury.

That being said I do look after my head, maybe just as I look after and take reasonable care of my heart.

I took a real solid shot from a 20 pound anchor I left on the ski platform, it fell off and flew back into my boat while traveling at 26 mph, busted my head up pretty good. I am familiar with the mental paralysis that occurs when my head is bumped, waiting for days to make sure I don't head back down a dark road.

Comparison to those "everyday variety" pre injury bumps is the way I found to combat that anxiety.

That doesn't mean the tendency to have anxiety flair upon head contact has gone away much as I wish it would...what it means is I have a tool to recognize anxiety and activate my pressure relief valve so to speak. That allows me to carry on my day without to much concern.
