Since September of last year, I've interviewed 25 different guests about their biggest experiences. This week, it's time I talk about one of mine--the accident. In high school, I almost died in a serious car crash. Helicopter life flight, emergency surgery, external fixator, weeks in the hospital, had to learn to walk again--the works. This week in the show, I talk about it in detail.
In the episode, we cover:
The details of the car wreck.
Rehab and recovery
What the worst pain of the whole thing was
Why I said i would never take pain meds again
The emotional and psychological effects that trauma had years later
What EMDR is, and my experience with it
How my own experience led me to eventually do this show, Life Can Change In A Moment.
Reliving and sharing this story with you hasn't been easy. Reopened some old wounds. And going public about it has made me want to puke more than once this week. But we talk about important stuff, and I feel compelled to bring it to you.
