I CAN Fix It
I have a huge problem with the terms "I need help", and "I can't". Saying you "need help" just means you haven't actually tried. Literally, saying you "can't" do something means you don't have the physical or mental ability to accomplish something. Humans can't fly. Humans don't have bodies made for flight. Often, a person too easily says he or she can't do something when he or she just has an extremely difficult time doing that task. The other day, I became very offended when I leaned over to my left, and a physical therapist criticized my lean, and then my personal physical therapist said, "He can't fix it." This made me think, "Of course I can fix it. My brain injury just sometimes causes me to lean to the left, but when I think about it, I can correct my lean." This defeatism from my physical therapist sucks. My physical therapist should learn to utilize my strengths, instead of pointing out the things I "can't" do.
