I’m seven years out from craniotomy for unruptured aneurysm and still cannot stand when anyone touches my head. At the hair salon, I have them cut my hair dry bc having anyone wash it and massage my head is so triggering. The last time it happened I had to hold back tears. It doesn’t hurt physically but emotionally it is traumatic. This recovery process is insane.

Sorry to read you’re still struggling. I think a lot of folks don’t understand the trauma of having a brain procedure. I have problems with the noise and smells of perms. Although truth be told, I’ve always detested the smell of perms.
It’s a positive in my book that you’ve identified the issue. Have you tried a good therapist? Look for someone who specializes in brain trauma.
