Brian Johansen was injured 38 years ago while skiing in the Alps. He was in high school at the time and has spent rest of his life in recovery from the injuries he suffered that day. The damage to his limbic system made impulse control difficult for him. Yet, through many setbacks, Brian continues to seek out services and support from many sources, learning about emotional intelligence (EQ), for example. He will get his accounting degree shortly. Brian shares his story to help others to have hope.
