Family meetings with the Intensive Care team... The ultimate display of "perceived power"?

Published: Fri, 01/22/16

Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com , where we instantly improve the lives for Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, so that you can have peace of mind, real power, real control and so that you can influence decision making fast, even if you’re not a doctor or a nurse in Intensive Care!


Today I want to talk about one of my favourite topics when it comes to you having a loved one critically ill in Intensive Care!


If your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care and is not a "straightforward" ICU Patient, meaning that your critically ill loved one is either



There will be a time where the Intensive Care team wants to have a "chat" to you and your family!


And they don't just want to "chat" casually...


If anything if your loved one is critically ill in Intensive Care and is not progressing very well, the Intensive Care team usually uses this opportunity to "formalise" their communication style with you in a "formal family meeting"...


"Formal family meetings" in Intensive Care from my experience are the ultimate display of the Intensive Care team's "perceived power" and "perceived authority"...


And the trouble is that Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care don't see it coming. They don't know what they walk into when the Intensive Care team is asking families in Intensive Care for a "formal family meeting"!


"Formal family meetings" in Intensive Care are a danger zone if you and your family are unprepared!


How do I know?


After more than 15 years Intensive Care nursing in three different countries and after I have literally worked with thousands of critically ill Patients and their families, I have seen and learned the difference.


I have also worked as a Nurse Unit Manager for more than 5 years in Intensive Care and I have seen and learned on an intimate level how Intensive Care teams prepare for "family meetings" in Intensive Care...


Intensive Care teams in "formal family meetings" know what to say, they know how to say it, they know when to say it and they know what not to say...


"Formal family meetings" in Intensive Care are the ultimate display of "perceived power" and"perceived authority" of the Intensive Care team!


Intensive Care teams tend to be very shrewd and adept when it comes to "family meetings" in Intensive Care and they know how to "sell" to you and your family their mainly "hidden agenda", because you and your family have no idea what's happening 'behind the scenes" in Intensive Care!


"Formal family meetings" in Intensive Care are the ultimate displays of "perceived power", "perceived authority", as well as "perceived decision making power" in Intensive Care...


Why? Because most families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care are not prepared and they take everything the Intensive Care team is telling them for "face value".


"Formal family meetings" in Intensive Care are positioning meetings, where the Intensive Care team often "sells" families of critically ill Patients on a "withdrawal of treatment", a "limitation of treatment" as being "in the best interest" of their critically ill loved one....


You certainly don't want to belong to the 99% of families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care who don't have peace of mind, control, power and influence...


And you certainly don't want to go into a "family meeting" unprepared, because if you do, you'll fall into the psychological trap that Intensive Care teams often set up for families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care...


And because of the power discrepancies and the power struggles that go hand in hand  in "family meetings" in Intensive Care I wrote an entire Ebook, I made two videos and I recorded two audio recordings/podcast to give you the insights and discoveries you need when it comes to "family meetings" in Intensive Care.


FOLLOW THIS ULTIMATE 6 STEP GUIDE FOR FAMILY MEETINGS WITH THE INTENSIVE CARE TEAM, THAT GETS YOU TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND, CONTROL, POWER AND INFLUENCE FAST, IF YOUR LOVED ONE IS CRITICALLY ILL IN INTENSIVE CARE!


In the Ebook, the 2 Videos and the 2 Audio recordings you'll discover


  • How to position yourself powerfully and position yourself well mentally, irrespective of the challenges you are facing!
  • How to change the perception that the Intensive Care team has about you and your family so that the Intensive Care team perceives you as different from the 99% of families in Intensive Care who have no peace of mind, no control, no power and no influence!
  • Why the Intensive Care team knows they are almost always “playing on home ground” whereas for you and for your Family it’s an “away game” and how you can change it so that you are “playing on home ground”! It’s the ultimate strategy for turning the tables in your favour and it shows the Intensive Care team that you’ve done your homework and that you are not intimidated!
  • What you need to know about “The elephant in the room” in Family meetings that the Intensive Care team will never mention! Know “The elephant in the room” and you can turn the dynamics around in a Family meeting with the Intensive Care team and have peace of mind, control, power and influence!
  • how you need to position yourself in Family meetings with the Intensive Care team so that you will have peace of mind, control, power and influence (The Intensive Care team is walking all over 99% of Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care in Family meetings, because Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care have no clue what to expect and how to position themselves and their critically ill loved one in those meetings)
  • The psychology of those meetings and what the Intensive Care team really wants, but will never tell you!
  • The dynamics in Family meetings with the Intensive Care team and how you can get the dynamics in your favour (something the Intensive Care team never expects, because they are so used to Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care being intimidated by the “perceived power” and the “perceived authority” of the Intensive Care team)
  • Why the Intensive Care team is used to be one step ahead of you and how you can change it so that you and your family will be one step ahead of the Intensive Care team
  • How to change your body language prior to a family meeting and during the family meeting with the Intensive Care team, so that they know you are not intimidated by their “perceived power” and their “perceived authority”! It’s easier than you think to let the Intensive Care team know just with your body language that you will do whatever it takes to have peace of mind, control, power and influence, no matter the challenges you and your family are facing! It’s a counter-intuitive move, but one that you must master if you want peace of mind, control, power and influence!
  • Discover the questions that you must ask during the family meeting with the Intensive Care team so that they can’t keep you at “arm’s length” any longer!
  • You’ll learn the super secret how to control your emotions in a Family meeting, because if you don’t control your emotions, the Intensive Care team knows how to use your emotions to their advantage!
  • You’ll get real world examples that you can easily adapt to your and your critically ill loved one’s situation!

The trouble is that most Families of critically ill Patients in Intensive Care, especially in Family meetings with the Intensive Care team have no peace of mind, no control, no power and no influence because they are not prepared for meetings with the Intensive Care team!
