Synopsis

Living with a brain injury can often feel as if you're carrying a secret. To the outside world, everything may appear normal, but internally there's a profound struggle that is hard to articulate and often harder to comprehend, even for those experiencing it. The changes brought on by a brain injury can be baffling and overwhelming, leading to daily challenges that are both exhausting and isolating. This sense of isolation can be utterly lonely; one must find ways to cope with these feelings or risk being engulfed by them.

Amber Lohret, a former psychiatric nurse, shares her experience in accepting her new self, her new life, and her new reality after facing a traumatic incident that resulted in a life-long TBI. No longer able to work as a nurse, Amber has since found solace in finding new modalities of healing others including reiki and yoga. In “Invisible” she shares details of what she had to overcome to recognize her (new) self, and share this new identity with loved ones and friends, despite looking the same on the outside.

READER REVIEWS:

“Amber empowers other traumatic brain injury survivors to create an authentic-driven rehabilitation that will empower and allow acceptance and the ability to find oneself again. This book is not just for those who have experienced a TBI, it is for everyone seeking to find themselves again.”
-Crystal Sherman

“My dear friend Amber’s journey following a horrific injury and sequential diagnosis of TBI has been inspiring. Her desire for her truth, survival, and healing is a testament to her strength and honesty. As a fellow nurse and witness to parts of her journey I have felt the reality of powerlessness. Her story of struggle is raw and honest. Amber’s book is for anyone seeking strength and courage to never give up along the journey, even when it seems impossible.”
-Martha Bonneau

“I am so proud to call Amber my friend. I have witnessed her go from anger, rage, and resentment to finally acceptance of her new self and the reality that her life was going to be different... and that was going to be ok. She is adapting to her new self with a positive outlook and new plan for herself and the family’s future. I hope that everyone who reads this story feels inspired by her true grit, determination, and perseverance.”
-Sue Briddell
