#150 Why Stroke Recovery Gets Harder After Rehab Ends
He looked down and said, “I don’t even know how to talk to her anymore.”
That moment didn’t happen in the hospital. It happened at home—months after stroke rehab ended. When the support disappeared, and recovery got… quiet.
If you’ve ever felt like the plan vanished after discharge, like you're carrying something no one prepared you for—this episode is for you.
We’re naming the therapy shift no one explains. And we’re breaking down what actually helps after stroke… and what leaves families stuck.
💡 Key Takeaways:
What “the therapy shift” really means—and why it catches families off guard
How to know if therapy is working (and when it’s not)
What care partners should be included in—but often aren’t
What to look for in a therapist who truly gets aphasia
A short, powerful story that might sound like your own
If this episode hit home—
For the stroke survivor: You might be wondering, “How do I take back control of my recovery?”
We created the Take It Back guide to help you do exactly that—with tools and insights that center your identity, voice, and goals. 👉 https://lifeaphasiaacademy.co/f/take-it-back
And if you’re a care partner: You’re holding so much—being protective, being the cheerleader, managing all the new responsibilities. This role doesn’t come with a manual—but this tool is a powerful first step to getting control.
The Care Partner Self-Reflection Wheel helps you see where you’re strong—and where you might need more support. It’s not about judgment. It’s about visibility. 👉 https://lifeaphasiaacademy.co/f/care-partner-strengths-wheel
