Barbara Stahura wrote her most recent book, After Brain Injury: Telling Your Story, several years after her husband sustained a traumatic brain injury. As a freelance writer and long-time journaler, she knew the power of telling one’s story on the page, so she developed the first journaling workshop specifically for people with brain injury and began facilitating it in Tucson in 2007.

Her book, co-authored with Susan B. Schuster, M.A., CCC-SLP, has been endorsed by James Pennebaker, Ph.D., as “a landmark book for people with brain injury and their friends and family.” Other endorsers include Kathleen Adams, founder of the Center for Journal Therapy; a trauma research manager; the founder of the National Veterans Foundation; and others.
Barbara has been a writer since 1987 and a freelancer since 1994. Her articles and personal essays have appeared in national publications including
Spirituality & Health and
Science of Mind, and on Newsweek.com. Her first collection of personal essays,
What I Thought I Knew, released in 2008, is a memoir of sorts about the times she changed her mind and changed her life. She is a certified instructor of Journal to the Self and is enrolled in the Certified Journal Facilitator Program of the Center for Journal Therapy. Her Web site is
