My name is Lori Purdy Faitel and I am your host for The Science of Happiness. I will be joined tonight with Tonia Wittkower my ongoing co-host. I am a Traumatic Brain Injury Survivor. I was in a car accident back in 1986, I was almost 25 years old. I was in what now is seen as a mild coma for 7 days, then for about 6 years I attended therapy and did a lot of self study before I began to feel like a regular person in society.Today I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant/ COTA and I have worked in Metro Detroit Since 1992. I went to college for OT with one thing in mind and that was to work with the brain injured. Since 2011 I have been blessed to do so.My guest host Tonya Wittkower is also a survivor from the 1980’s Our guest,Debra Osborne says she called in to an earlier show, perhaps few years ago. Debra says: “On that first podcast when I broke down I realized I was unable to help anyone until I got some help myself. I read a good book called: An Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. On the website for this book I met a special man his name is Joe (he will join the radio show), and we became each others biggest cheerleaders.In a nutshell, I talked and listened.Started working out lost weight.Uncluttered, got rid of heavy burdens.Started getting into Church.
