I've said it before on here but I'll say it again - I talk to myself. A lot more than I used to before my TBI.
I know when I'm watching telly, that when it comes to game shows I say the answer to the questions outloud. I'm sure my husband and probably my boy think to themselves "there she goes" as a person gets a minute full of questions on The Chase!
It makes me think back to when I was relearning to drive a few years ago, when my licence had been taken away after my TBI. I remember my driving instructor saying how he loves how I talked outloud to mnyself when performing manouvres in the vehicle
"the lights are turning green,
reach a bite,
hand brake off,
off I go...
turning right,
indicator on,
slow down,
down from three to two,
turn..."
He said that it made things easier for him as he knew exactly what I was thinking and doing - and he could correct or add things to it!
