Jerry Christensen

When Jerry Christensen was 15 his heart stopped twice due to a Severe Traumatic Brain Injury sustained as a result of a mountain bike accident. When he finally arrived at the hospital he was in a coma for a week and paralyzed for a week and a half. He had amnesia for 4 solid weeks and was discharged after 6 weeks. At discharge the experts told Jerry and his family he would never go to college or be able to hold a job. His future was grim to say the least but Jerry knew otherwise.

At that time the doctors seemed right in their prognosis. Jerry had full understanding of the alphabet but couldn't read, he could only do basic addition if the sum was less than 10, and he couldn't walk in a straight line. By all estimates he was really messed up but a part of him said otherwise.

Jerry could tell he was set back quite a ways and his future was going to be nothing like previously expected but he also had a feeling that he could recover. From the time the accident happened he was out to prove how wrong all those who expected a permanent disability were. He was going to make something of his life, he was going to get off all medications and recover to live as though the injury never happened.

As time went on Jerry graduated high school on time in the top quarter of his class. He then went on to earn an honors degree in psychology in four years. He was functional but had yet to fully recover from the fatigue and he had yet to learn to pronounce words clearly.

In 2008 Jerry looked back on the journey he was on from the bicycle race until that point. He asked himself how he could teach others to recover just like he did. He questioned if his recovery was a stroke of luck or if anyone could do it. Before long he identified key steps that led to a process to be used by others. He figured out the practical process and in doing so made a full recovery possible for everyone.

As Jerry helped more people the process became refined and perfect. After helping hundreds upon hundreds of people recover from numerous situations the research was finished and called the Complete Recovery Program™.
