Trauma effects us both physically and emotionally. In recovery, the progress of each impacts the another. Rachel discusses the importance of accepting her stroke as it occurred, both physically and emotionally. She recognizes the changing narrative experienced over time depending on how she feels physically. Rachel asserts that recovery and growth can occur if we recognize our fears and sadness on a daily basis, give them a name, and replace them with positive self-talk.
