Voicing Inner Thoughts Matters | Kate Allatt | TEDxSheffieldHallamUniversity

Following a stroke in 2010, Kate Allatt was able to think and feel , yet left unable to move any part of her body for months. She experienced the condition known as ‘locked in syndrome’. Through self-belief, visualisation and motivation, Kate regained control of her body against medical odds. Kate will share her astonishing story and explain why portable mind reading devices are a life changing technology.

Kate won the title of 'Extraordinary Woman of the Year' in 2011 and is the author of the internationally published book 'Running Free - Breaking out of locked in syndrome.'

What an incredible person Kate Allat is. I was in hospital with her for a short while when I fractured my skull. To see her lying next to me unable to speak walk and eat was heartbreaking. I left hospital crying as I couldn't imagine how her life would be with such severe disabilities.
I now meet with her for long dog walks and lunches. She listens and advises me on so many life challenges. She is an inspiration. I love you Kate x

My dad just had a major stroke and they think he has locked in syndrome. He is so determined and stubborn and positive that I can’t help but feel like he’s gonna recover. Thank you for sharing this.

kate, estoy enormemente feliz y en cierta forma orgullosa de tu gran esfuerzo en recuperarte y sacar adelante a personas que estén pasando por lo mismo. Soy de Argentina y tengo un conocido que está internado con enclaustramiento y me encantaría poder entender qué explicas en este video para poder ayudarlo. Besos gigantes y que sigas ayudando a mucha gente!!! 💗

I am currently working with 2 people with locked in syndrome and hope to use hypnosis to get them on their way to recovery. This gives me enormous hope. An amazing story! <3
