About this listen

After the breakdown of Episode 5, we need a map for the healing.

Cassie is joined by Marylune., a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to validate the chaos of the TBI and caregiver journey. Together, they dismantle the guilt of resting and explain the science behind why a traumatized nervous system fights the stillness.

Marylune provides clinical insight into why high-functioning caregivers "crash" when the work stops and why finding a hobby isn't a luxury—it is a neurological necessity for reconnecting with the self you lost.

Topics Covered:

  • The Crisis Brain: Why we are addicted to the hustle even when it hurts.

  • The TBI Crash: Validating the energy drop and the need for mandatory rest.

  • Hobbies as Healing: How to rediscover the "childhood joy" to combat burnout.

  • Systemic Gaslighting: Navigating a medical system that dismisses your pain.

Guest: Marylune, LMFT (Nevada/California/Utah).
