Reclaiming Identity After Brain Injury: Shawnee Harkins & The Harkins Method™
Feb 12, 2026 Season 7 Episode 3
bindwaves podcast

After surviving multiple brain injuries at ages 18, 20, and 24, Shawnee Harkins turned her own recovery into a breakthrough approach for healing the brain. In this episode, Shawnee shares how her lived experience led to the creation of The Harkins Method™, a personalized, drug-free neuro-fitness protocol designed to accelerate recovery from a wide array of brain injuries, from concussion to TBI to stroke.
Through adaptive, neuroplasticity-driven cognitive and physical training, The Harkins Method™ helps survivors improve memory, communication, speech, and executive functioning—while rebuilding confidence and identity. Join us as Shawnee reframes the traditional patient care journey and empowers brain injury survivors to reset their mind, brain, and body to pursue a more fulfilling life.
