An example of the kind of impact Nancy has had on people with whom she works, is explained by the parent of one of her clients:

I have never laid eyes on you but I feel your heart and from Lodi (over a thousand miles away)…..I am now crying because YOU understand and more importantly,  CARE about something bigger than yourself……You care about the people who are beginning the journey you began over 38 years ago and SURVIVED AND THRIVED……. The word care, is a “HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT!” You seek to understand……what a tremendous gift.

I learned that my injury is not who I am rather than something that happened to me. I came to understand that unlike many people with a brain injury I am very fortunate to have a prognosis of 100% recovery. I have become motivated to do everything in my power to take advantage of the people and resources that are available to me. I am aware of doing all that I can to get well because my brain is truly healing as promised by my doctors.

Nancy Bauser has many titles and credentials behind her name. She has earned every one of those titles despite her brain injury. Nancy is willing to teach and live by the endless wealth of knowledge she brings to her coaching. Nancy walks the walk. NANCY LOVED AND COACHED ME BACK TO LIFE. I tell ANY person who is fortunate enough to have Nancy Bauser as their coach, “YOU ARE BLESSED!”

–Katie

About Nancy


The author, Nancy Bauser, M.S.W., A.C.S.W., B.C.E.T.S., B.C.D.T., survived a head-on collision which resulted in a severe brain stem injury in 1971. The writer decided to continue her education receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Michigan in 1973 and a Masters in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1976. After graduation she achieved admission to the Academy of Certified Social Workers. From the years 2002 until 2004, Ms. Bauser obtained recognition from The American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. She is a Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress and holds a Board Certification in Disability Trauma. The reason she chose to publish a new edition of Acceptance Groups for Survivors, A Guide for Facilitators is that she had earned more professional credentials that she wished to display and wanted to change the cover color, from a bland beige to a vibrant pink.

Before Ms. Bauser's injury and subsequent disability, she describes herself as an active, liberal rebellious college student. She remembers being very social, well organized, intelligent and goal oriented. She recalls laughing a lot, handling stress without much thought or anxiety, and being able to manage multiple demands with ease. on one mid-November afternoon, her world collapsed. She sustained a severe brain injury. From requiring life-support to physical, occupational and speech therapies, MS. BAUSER DEVELOPED QUESTIONS THAT SURVIVORS OF ANY TRAUMA MAY NEED OR WANT TO ASK THEMSELVES, AS THEY ATTEMPT TO RESUME AS MAINSTREAM A LIFE, AS IS POSSIBLE.
