Heart Recovery: The Emotional Side (with Dr. Kiki)

Hi, I’m Dr. Kiki Fehling, a heart attack survivor and a licensed psychologist. This channel is about the emotional side of heart disease: anxiety and panic, grief and shame, anger and depression, identity changes, relationship stress, and learning to feel safe in your body again. I share practical, evidence-based coping tools and psychoeducation for people living with heart disease—and for the clinicians who support them. I'm also a proud WomenHeart Champion, dedicated to advocating for equity in cardiac care. Learn more about me, WomenHeart, and other mental health resources at the links below.
