This type of rehabilitation includes counselling for the patient in the psychological arenas of the brain injury as well as family and other relationships, specific skills, cognitive retraining, cognitive rehabilitation integrating skills. Psychological lifestyle adjustments, vocational rehabilitation and family members also get integrated counselling. For the counselling to be a success it must be the foundation of an interactive partnership. Things learned during counselling are stress management, assertiveness training, social skills and conflict resolution. The brain injured person generally shows signature behaviours that can slow the learning process. These behaviours are: poor judgement, slow information processing, irritability, impulsively and misperception of the intentions and actions of other. Even with cognitive and psychological issues of a person with traumatic brain injuries that are difficult and can be many, there are predictable stages during the recover process.
