He had lived through every stage of recovery and knew what we were enduring beyond the pain: identity crises, loss of self-confidence, and fears about supporting ourselves and attracting the opposite sex. Jim passed along biofeedback tips - he called the process "mind f---" - for combating the jumble of severed nerve endings called phantom pain.
