It is not a 3-page eBook with a few tips. The e-book has more than 30 pages and is full of concrete tips that helped me in my concussion recovery.
✔️ What happened in 2017 that completely changed my life — and how it became the start of my recovery.
✔️ The $10,000 treatment I invested in to finally overcome my symptoms (and why it was worth every cent).
✔️ The most effective exercise for people with concussion symptoms — and why science shows it works so well.
✔️ How I explain that I could do something yesterday, but not today — and what’s really happening in your brain on those days.
✔️ How I stopped waiting, searching, and feeling sick, and step by step regained control over my recovery.
✔️ Who taught me more about my brain than all of my doctors combined.
✔️ How to “retrain” the damaged neural pathways after a concussion so your brain starts functioning better again.
✔️ Whether I’m fully recovered — and what recovery really means after a concussion.
✔️ How to break out of the negative recovery cycle so your body and brain can finally start to heal again.
❌ Don’t make your concussion the main focus of your life — try not to think about it all the time.
❌ Talk to a psychologist, that will help. And don’t stay at home all the time — that’s bad for your mood.
❌ Go home and rest as much as you can. You’ll probably feel better in a few weeks.
❌ You need to work on acceptance. Accept that this is how it is and focus on what you can still do.
❌ We all get older — try not to make such a big deal out of it.
❌ Feeling anxious? Just do some yoga and it’ll go away!
You're not alone.
Hi, I’m Silvie, 34 years old and I live in the Netherlands. In May 2017, I was in a scooter accident and suffered a concussion and whiplash.
It was a tough time: people often said, “You don’t look sick at all,” but inside I had never felt worse.
My friends stopped reaching out, and sometimes I stayed inside for days with the curtains closed because the world was just too much.
I couldn’t work, and my colleagues didn’t understand why I wasn’t myself yet. I felt guilty and lonely through everything I was going through.
After years of trying, searching, and struggling, I am now about 90% recovered. That long road was hard and lonely, which is why I want to help you walk it—not alone—and have the right knowledge.
That’s why I created this e-book, in which I share the 7 things that helped me the most in my recovery.
It’s designed to help you rebuild confidence and regain control over your body, your social life, and eventually your work.
You don’t have to go through this alone.
