The Other Side of The Curtain: Recovering from Deep Coma
The Other Side of The Curtain Recovering from Deep Coma Author:Nadia Judith Bijaoui Following a serious motorcycle accident, the author was eighteen and living in the South of France when pronounced dead. Nevertheless, she entered a three-month coma and survived. A couple of years later, she moved to the United States and tried to forget about it. But there are things in life that one cannot forget. — Eventually, the author ackn... more »owledged what she wanted once to disregard from her life. The reason of her survival and of her recovered physical and mental faculties, in spite of a grave head trauma, became her secret search.
She found seven reasons or elements. Some of those elements started in her early childhood in Tunisia, orientating the two first parts of this book as a memoir. Her professional life reflects her search with careers from body to mind and from mind to body.
The author wishes to transmit a message of prevention to everyone and of hope and healing to individuals affected by a disease, a condition, or an accident; message also intended to their families. While decoding the steps of her own recovery, she created Bio Health Education for physical, mental, and social wellness/health.
The Seven Elements, the last part of the book, demystifies the reasons of her survival within a scientific approach. It also includes healing suggestions to prevent or alleviate certain conditions.
By the time she finished her last edition, Recovering, the author, Dr. Nadia Judith Bijaoui, earned two doctoral degrees, one in health education, and the other in psychology with specializations in modern psychoanalysis and in PTSD. She also earned degrees in neuroscience, preventive medicine, and in psycho-educational counseling. But more important than degrees, she is extremely intuitive. Dr. Bijaoui offers health consultations and online webinars on physical, mental, and social wellness/health. Her professional activities also include higher education health courses design and instruction.
Upon ending the research and writing behind The Other Side of The Curtain, the author felt for the third time the words of Rabbi Susan Laemmle she heard at her graduation ceremony at USC – Keck School of Medicine; words she first experienced after waking up from her coma and started her secret mission to understand, but couldn’t find the words: ”Humility, Gratefulness, Joy”.
Beyond the “whys” of her recovery, she wanted to know why this happened? What brought up this accident into her life? She found out that her death wish, according to Freud, was the consequence of political events taking place in France one year before her accident.« less
