Prior to my injury, I had been meeting every week with a very good therapist in my home city (in Canada) to deal with various life issues. So we're continuing to meet by phone, just for less time (20-30 mins) to discuss issues related to the injury and to help keep my morale up. I've also talked to my naturopath a couple of times - again, I've met with her in person before, and since the injury we've talked by phone for 15-20 mins a couple of times. Most of what she's told on the medical front me I already knew, but I find it helpful to have an extra "objective" person to talk to.

I'm paying a lesser, prorated amount for these appointments. It's worth it to me, b/c I've had issues with mild depression before and I'm doing my best to stay strong while I deal with this medical issue (having a significant concussion is enough to test the mental health of even the most robust person IMO). These conversations are by no means a panacea, but I'm willing to do anything that helps even a bit.
