In this week’s BLOG I want to share with you

“How to MUTE your NEGATIVE INNER DIALOGUE whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!”

It’s very easy to get bogged down and become negative if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!

After all you and your Family are facing one of the biggest challenges in your entire lifetime!

Having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care is nothing short of being a “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” experience and a “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” challenge!

Surveys suggests that “The change in the health status of a Family member is in the top 10 of the most stressful events in one’s lifetime!”

Imagine that, “The change in the health status of a Family member is in the top 10 of the most stressful events in one’s lifetime!”

It doesn’t mention critical illness, it doesn’t mention Intensive Care and it doesn’t mention situations where your critically ill loved one is

very unstable and in a very critical condition

in a life threatening situation

in Intensive Care for long-term treatments and long-term stays

having a severe(traumatic) head or brain injury

threatened with an “NFR”(Not for resuscitation) or “DNR”(Do not resuscitate) order

In a situation where the Intensive Care team suggests a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “limitation of treatment” as being “in the best interest” of your critically ill loved one

approaching their end of life in Intensive Care

all it says is that “The change in the health status of a Family member is in the top 10 of the most stressful events in one’s lifetime!”

I bet that your and your Family’s stress levels are through the roof!

And after more than 15 years Intensive Care nursing in three different countries and after I have literally worked with THOUSANDS of critically ill Patients and their Families I know first hand that the stress, the frustration, the anxiety, the overwhelm and the level of vulnerability you are currently exposed to have skyrocketed.

And during this difficult, challenging and “ONCE IN A LIFETIME” situation when your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care it’s very easy to become negative.

It’s easy to become negative, especially if you look around and see all the other Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no power, no control and no influence!

The Intensive Care team holds 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care hostage

It’s palpable that those Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are negative, you can see it by their poor body language and you can hear it in their tone of voice that the Intensive Care team controls them.

Those 99% Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no power, no control and no influence are held hostage by the Intensive Care team’s positioning and they are held hostage by the Intensive Care team painting a “doom and gloom” and a negative picture.

They are also held hostage by their own negative and pessimistic inner dialogue and their inability to take action and start being proactive!

And I am not talking about those situations where your loved one is in Intensive Care for a couple of days.

I am talking about those situations where your critically ill loved one is

very unstable and in a very critical condition

in a life threatening situation

in Intensive Care for long-term treatments and long-term stays

having a severe(traumatic) head or brain injury

threatened with an “NFR”(Not for resuscitation) or “DNR”(Do not resuscitate) order

In a situation where the Intensive Care team suggests a “withdrawal of treatment” or a “limitation of treatment” as being “in the best interest” of your critically ill loved one

approaching their end of life in Intensive Care

Because if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care and is facing one of the aforementioned massive challenges, the Intensive Care team will put it in a negative light so that they can not only protect their professional reputation in case things go wrong.

They also put things in a negative light because of their competing interests, the dynamics, the psychology, the intrigue, the power play and THE HIDDEN AGENDA “BEHIND THE SCENES” in Intensive Care!

It makes the Intensive Care team always position your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis in a way that keeps all their options open.

The Intensive Care team wants to keep their options open to keep the upper hand at all times

Keeping their options open means that at any given point during your critically ill loved one’s stay in Intensive Care, the Intensive Care team wants to be in a position to

STOP OR LIMIT TREATMENT if they think that it’s taking up too much of their financial($$$) or emotional resources

“sell” you and your family on the idea that “withdrawing” or “limiting” treatment is “IN THE BEST INTEREST” of your critically ill loved one

Manage their beds and Patient flow effectively. I.e. Intensive Care beds are scarce, expensive and in high demand and if at any given point during your critically ill loved one’s stay in Intensive Care the pressure on beds gets too high- again- the Intensive Care team wants to be in a position to admit other Patients that they may deem more financially viable($$$), more interesting and more “sexy” to look after

Conduct medical research on their critically ill Patients. After all, medical research is a multi Billion $$$ Dollar per year Industry and often care, treatment and the positioning of your critically ill loved one’s diagnosis and prognosis is dependent on whether the Intensive Care team can enrol your critically ill loved one in a medical research study

This is only a snapshot of the moving parts in Intensive Care “BEHIND THE SCENES”.

This is only a snapshot of what you and your Family have to consider if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care! And it’s only a snapshot of why you and your Family have the negative talk in your head that things are pretty dicey!

THE 10 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ARE HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES IN INTENSIVE CARE THAT HOLD YOU BACK FROM HAVING PEACE OF MIND, CONTROL, POWER AND INFLUENCE, WHILST YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!

INTENSIVE CARE’S HIDDEN SECRETS AND MYTHS BEHIND THE SCENES, THAT THE INTENSIVE CARE TEAM KEEPS AWAY FROM YOU AT ANY COST AND OTHER FAMILIES OF CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THOSE HIDDEN SECRETS!

THE FAST LANE FOR PEACE OF MIND, CONTROL, POWER AND INFLUENCE WHEN YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!

Staying positive is essential and not optional

The alternative is to stay positive anyway no matter the challenges you and your Family are currently facing.

The alternative is also to be proactive, the alternative is to start managing the situation from your end and the alternative is to have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence whilst your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care!

The alternative is to start doing your own research, to not take anything for “FACE VALUE” the Intensive Care team is telling you, the alternative is to have a plan and a strategy to turn things around in your favour, no matter how difficult the situation is!

The alternative is to also not take “NO” for an answer no matter how challenging the situation is and the alternative is to get a handle on things and get an unfair advantage compared to 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who remain at the mercy of the Intensive Care team and who are left behind without PEACE OF MIND, without power, without control and without influence!

Arming yourself with the right tools and strategies is key

By now you know that PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence are within your reach, you know it’s possible and you know that if you keep arming yourself with the right tools and the right strategies, I promise you the Intensive Care team will notice and they will treat you and your Family differently compared to the 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who have no PEACE OF MIND, no control, no power and no influence!

You know by now that if you keep going against the grain, the Intensive Care team can’t keep playing their games with you and they will literally have a hard time to keep playing their games with you and keep you at “arm’s length”!

Every Family that I have counselled and supported so far has always confirmed that my strategies work and that all of a sudden, they have gotten results and the Intensive Care team changed their positioning. All of a sudden those Families had negotiation and bargaining power!

Because if you keep asking the right questions, if you are not intimidated by the Intensive Care team’s perceived power and perceived authority you will find yourself in a position where you will have PEACE OF MIND, control, power and influence!
