Mind Over Body: Trusting Your Safety Nets

Mind Over Body: Trusting Your Safety Nets Part of the Living with SADS Webinar Series 🔑 Key Takeaways from "Mind Over Body: Trusting Your Safety Nets" with Dr. Sam Sears • ICDs provide life-saving protection but can cause emotional distress and anxiety. • Viewing the ICD as a “safety net” helps reframe fear into confidence. • Common concerns include fear of shocks, device malfunction, and social isolation. • Cognitive-behavioral tools—like mindfulness, relaxation, and positive self-talk—build resilience. • Emotional support from family, peers, and professionals is essential. • Empowering patients to reclaim their independence improves quality of life. • Living well with an ICD means focusing on identity, not just illness. • Psychological care is as vital as physical care in inherited arrhythmia management. 🎙️ Featured Speaker: Sam Sears, PhD Cardiac psychologist and professor at East Carolina University specializing in the emotional and psychological care of patients with inherited arrhythmias and implantable devices.
