Arrive in a bad mood.
Leave in a good mood.

Arrive with a fast heart rate.
Leave with a less fast heart rate and a lighter chest and easier breathing.

Arrive tired.
Leave uplifted.

Arrive needing to talk.
Leave having talked the trainer’s ear off, feeling listened to, respected, and understood.

Arrive feeling alone.
Leave knowing you’re not alone, knowing no matter what the stupid docs say, you ain't hallucinating some of the brain injury sequelae. You have a real physical problem that the medical profession needs to address and researchers need to study, not just physical trainers and psychologists.

Arrive effing HOT!!!
Leave cooler.

Brain injury grief is

extraordinary grief

research proves

needs healing.

Arrive weighted down with a narrowed-in perception of surroundings.
Leave lighter, alert, aware of more of your surroundings, and feeling that strange new energy (initiation??) deep inside you flickering a little stronger.

Arrive with stiff muscles and high muscle tension.
Leave with lower muscle tension — and for the first time having been able to drop it radically within one session.

Arrive under dry skies and thunderous brow.
Leave under thundering, pouring rain, too much in a good mood to care about getting wetter than a baptized child in Lake Ontario.
