In this episode of The Heart Warrior Project, I sit down with Will, a fellow cardiac arrest survivor, to talk openly about something many ICD patients fear: receiving a shock.

This is the full, in-depth conversation with Will about his recent ICD shock—what happened, what it felt like, and what went through his mind in those intense moments.

This episode is also part of a larger, in-depth video about ICD shocks featuring multiple survivor experiences and professional guidance from Dr. Samuel Sears, a clinical health psychologist specialized in working with ICD patients.

If you want to learn even more about ICD shocks—what to do, how to cope, and how to process the emotional aftermath—be sure to check out the full ICD shock episode: ICD Shocks: How Painful Are They—and How Do You Cope Afterward?
