Rehabilitation for Functional Memory Symptoms After Concussion

Cognitive behavioural therapy for functional memory symptoms after concussion is delivered by a psychologist over 11 individual (1:1) secure videoconference sessions. The core active ingredients are 1) Behavioural experiments, which acts by phasing out compensatory strategies in order to increase normal memory use and 2) Cognitive reappraisal, which aids in re-interpreting memory lapses in order to reduce reactivity to them.
