Season 3 Episode 4: After ICU: Processing “I Could Have Died”

from The Hurdle2Hope® Show · host Teisha Rose

What happens after a life-threatening experience? In this episode, I share what it’s been like processing the reality that I could have died after spending eight days in ICU. When you’re in crisis, your focus is on getting through it. But it’s often not until afterwards that the emotional impact really hits. This episode explores: Why processing what happened is part of healing The delayed emotional impact after a health crisis Why suppressing emotions doesn’t support your recovery The role of inner work in building resilience What “active acceptance” really means in difficult moments  How your response continues to shape your experience after crisis  This conversation is relevant whether you’re living with a health condition or navigating a difficult experience in your life.  Because healing isn’t just about getting through aa crisis, it’s about what happens after.   🎙️ Referenced in this episode: Why Accepting Your Diagnosis Doesn't Mean Giving Up Hope. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2291961/episodes/15581826   💻 FREE Guide If you’re currently dealing with a health challenge and feeling overwhelmed, this is a simple place to start. When Health Challenges Feel Overwhelming Four mindset shifts to help you stay calm and clear in difficult moments. Download it here: https://teisharose.com/overwhelmed   📲 Connect: Instagram: @hurdle2hope Facebook: Hurdle2Hope  If this episode resonated, follow The Hurdle2Hope® Show so you don’t miss an episode and share it with someone who needs to hear it  Send Teisha a text message ❤️🧡💚 If you’re feeling overwhelmed by a health challenge, download the free guide here: https://teisharose.com/overwhelmed/ If you’re ready for more support, explore the Thriving Through Chronic Illness course and one-on-one coaching here: https://teisharose.com/thrivingWHERE TO GO NEXTIf you’re navigating a health challenge, you can find support and resources atTeishaRose.comIf you’re a professional or organisation looking to strengthen connection and resilience in your work, visitHurdle2Hope.comI’d love to connect with you,TeishaAlso, are you following @hurdle2hope on social media?
