Season 3 Episode 4: After ICU: Processing “I Could Have Died”
The Hurdle2Hope® Show
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.
