For those of you who are in therapy or have gone through therapy, did you get worse during treatment? The first week of therapy was awful...but the following week was probably the best I'd ever felt since the injury. Every week after got worse and worse, until finally, this last Friday my brain finally broke down.

My brain has been in a really awful state since that day. I'm not really sure if its getting any better, and I'm not getting the proper rest I need to recover since the therapy I'm attending is an intensive day treatment program. Which means, its like a job. I'm there 5 days a week, 6 hours a day.

I'm improving, for the most part. I no longer get confused, I'm able to handle being in grocery stores now, my memory is improving, my anxiety has been at an all-time low and my attitude is extremely positive...but I'm starting to notice a decline in my ability to express myself verbally? I'm a little concerned that this might be too much for me, and I'm not getting the proper rest I need in between sessions.

I've expressed my concern to the rehab coordinator and case manager, but they seem to think pushing through is beneficial. Apparently, they've had success in doing so with all their clients. I got chewed out the other day for taking a break outside during a session.

Is getting worse during therapy normal? I know that I've read that somewhere.

Thanks for your input in advance. I wish you all Godspeed in your recovery.
