Kelly Bouldin Darmofal suffered a severe TBI in 1992; currently she holds a Masters in Special Education from Salem College, NC. Her memoir Lost In My Mind: Recovering From Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) tells her story of tragedy and triumph. Kelly will be teaching "TBI: An Overview for Educators" at Salem College. Kelly's "tips" were learned during two decades of recovery and perseverance; they include:

  • Ways to avoid isolation and culture shock post-TBI
  • Tips for staying organized in the face of instant chaos
  • Strategies for caretakers and teachers of TBI survivors
  • Life philosophies that reject despair
  • How to relearn that shoes must match
  • Why one alarm clock is never enough, and
  • A breath of humor for a growing population with a "silent illness"--TBI

Those who suffer from TBI should benefit from Kelly Darmofal's advice. She speaks often of the value of a sense of humor in dealing with TBI symptoms and quotes Viktor Frankl who believed that humor was one of the "...soul's weapons in the fight for self preservation." I strongly recommend her work.
--Dr. George E. Naff, NCC, LPC, Diplomate in Logotherapy

Kelly is a wonderful resource about TBI for survivors, caregivers, teachers, and the entire community. The wisdom gained from her own experience makes her believable; the frankness and sense of humor that she reveals as she writes makes her authentic... Kelly and her publications have become a trusted resource for our clients who are surviving from a TBI.
--Barbara Saulpaugh, Regional Executive Director, CareNet Counseling, an affiliate of Wake Forest Baptist Health

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kelly Bouldin Darmofal is currently a freelance writer, wife, educator and stay-at-home mother. Despite her 1992 severe closed head injury, she graduated cum laude in Communication from Salem College (2000), later receiving a Masters in Special Education from Salem (2006). She studied Spanish in Merida, Mexico and took courses at UCLA, UNC-CH, and Wake Forest University. Kelly was employed by the Winston-Salem, NC chapter of the American Red Cross as volunteer coordinator before working in ESL at Reynolds High School, followed by a semester in Special Education at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. Kelly worked personally with Dr. Bethanie Tucker, Averett University, to be trained in Tucker Signing Strategies for Reading (2005). In 2005 Kelly joined the Forsyth Country Day School faculty in the Johnson Academic Center as an LD Specialist. In 2007 Kelly accepted a 2nd grade position at Summit School, and taught there four years until the birth of her son. She currently tutors children as a Wilson Reading Specialist and is a published writer. Her article on traumatic brain injury (TBI) and education was published in English Journal in 2005; "Our Teachers Are Not Prepared" won an Edwin M. Hopkins award in 2006 (NCTE). She is a feature contributor to Lost Treasure magazine, and has been a speaker on the subject of TBI at Wake Forest, Salem College, and the Summit School. With the publication of online articles related to TBI in addition to her memoir, Kelly continues to advocate for the TBI of America - especially students.

"No teacher in high school or college was trained to work with students like me," says Kelly, the first TBI-certified student in her high school. She admits the American military and sports organizations are now attempting to address the TBI issue. However, IDEA, or the Individual with Disabilities Education Act, has made TBI a certifiable disability category (in 1990) without assuring appropriate teacher training. She remarks on this "black hole" in education whenever possible, and relates her early TBI experiences with hopes of affecting change. Kelly has found canine care and rescue to be both a rewarding and healing hobby. Currently she owns two rescue mutts - Mitzy and Buddie.

Recover from Traumatic Brain Injury with Tips to keep you motivated never to give up
This book has tips for those who have or have had traumatic brain injury. Kelly Bouldin Darmofal, has a memoir called “Lost In my mind: recovering from Traumatic brain Injury” that would be helpful to you if you have also suffered. What I learned are the symptoms can include; long and short term memory loss, inability to think and speak rapidly, loss of muscle control and other impairments depending on the severity of the injury. I remember going to a Chucky Cheese restaurant and play area with my 3-year-old, as I looked away for one second, my daughter let go of the Ferris wheel handle and fell to the ground. She got a severe concussion and that scared me to pieces. So, even such a small incident can cause brain injury. I am a parent and my advice is that you can never be careful enough with children.This book is a necessary reading for patients, poets, professors, preachers, teachers, and anyone who has suffered from a traumatic brain injury. © 2016 Jackie Paulson

People have no idea how life changes with a traumatic brain injury. This book gives a brief, yet detailed insight on how to deal with the residual of such a heart breaking, split second moment in a person's life, known as TBI. A single TBI event changes the individual and everyone who is near and dear to that person. The road to recovery is made of patience and persistence.

I had a TBI during a "mild" auto accident w/ whiplash in Dec 1991. I was in my senior year of chiropractic school, and suddenly couldn't remember the names of things, but could picture them and describe what I saw in my mind. I just discovered this book, and I've already expanded my understanding of my life and circumstances. It's both useful and hope-inspiring.
Very Good Job!

Very disappointed in this book - if you can call it that. You can read the whole think in about 10 minutes. Many of the recommendations are just common sense. I thought it would help me understand what to do for my husband, who suffered a TBI in February. Forget it. Waste of money.

The only thing that’s good about this book is the large readable print. It’s mostly common sense stuff with too much religious input. If you have an actual brain injury this book is not going to help. Save your money.
