Thanks, I value your feedback Mark
In terms of PTSD, I've recently had a year of intensive trauma therapy (EMDR) and part of the reason I chose that therapy was because of the impacts of concussion anxiety have on my life.
Either EMDR wasn't the right modality for concussion anxiety, or the therapist had a mental block around my particular issue, I've realised now it probably needs to be something along the lines of CBT with a specific focus on concussion/health anxiety.
Today for example, I was starting to feel okay again, I got caught in the rain and quickly whipped my head around to the side to shake some of the water off, which caused an anxiety spike (then without thinking, I did the same thing a minute later).
Next thing I'm wondering about rotational shearing forces on the brain / diffuse axonal injuries caused by those 2 vigorous movements. I can't believe it's possible to cause a self-concussion like that, it's just that the mechanics / rotational planes mimic something like a boxer getting hooked in the jaw.
