"Brain, Heal Thyself is a book that we all should read, especially caregivers, families of brain-injured patients, health professionals and their students. Our brains do have the capacity to be rehabilitated beyond our expectations. I truly loved Siles' inspiring work." --Rose Sgarlat Myers, PT, PhD, Executive Vice President Foundation for Cancer Research and Education, "Brain, Heal Thyselfis a book that we all should read, especially caregivers, families of brain-injured patients, health professionals and their students.

Synopsis
When Eve suffered a near-fatal brain aneurysm, Madonna Siles, her housemate and friend, too quickly found herself making critical short- and long-term medical care decisions without any help. When the insurance and financial resources ran out and the conventional therapy providers discharged zombie-like Eve to the homecare of a solitary caregiver, both their futures seemed hopeless. Instead of giving up, Madonna Siles drew on life experience and her marketing career to develop a rehabilitation program that harnessed the power of the subconscious mind. Using motivational techniques borrowed from the advertising world, she appealed to Eve's subconscious to bypass the brain damage and restore normal functioning. In three short years, even the doctors were amazed at Eve's recovery and return to a near-normal life. Part memoir, part recovery manual, Brain, Heal Thyself is a guidebook for thousands of shell-shocked individuals who suddenly find themselves having to make life and death decisions for those they love. With humor, warmth, and arresting honesty, Madonna Siles's lively narrative closely examines not only the patient's recovery, but also the crucial role of caregivers--and the emotional, financial, and practical pressures they face., A care-giving crisis is confronting America as baby boomers hit their sixties and the questions arise: Who's going to help and who's going to pay? Part memoir, part recovery manual, Brain, Heal Thyself may well prove as a guidebook to thousands of unexpected caregivers. With humor, warmth, and arresting honesty, Madonna Siles recounts moment-by-moment the journey from her friend Eve's near-fatal aneurysm to ER to rehab center to at-home care and, finally, to near-miraculous recovery. Siles had no previous care-giving experience when Eve reached the limits of conventional therapy and was discharged to her care. Surprisingly, Siles was able to draw on her marketing and advertising background to develop non-verbal and subliminal methods for invoking the power of Eve's emotions and subconscious mind in the healing process.
