Taming PTSD Triggers: Practical Tips from Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke

Whatever you fight mentally grows, whatever you try to avoid and physically push away in your mind starts to grow.
Ever feel like your PTSD triggers are running the show? In this episode of 'The Overcoming PTSD Podcast', hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke dive into three practical strategies to help you regain control. They break down the differences between internal triggers, like thoughts and emotions, and external ones, such as certain places or sounds. Kayleen and Brad share their personal experiences and offer actionable steps to manage these triggers effectively.
First up, they talk about reclaiming your mind by accepting when you're triggered and finding a safe space to reset. They also highlight the importance of shifting negative thoughts to more positive ones, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. Next, they discuss building a recovery toolbox filled with tools that can help calm you down during those intense moments.
Lastly, they emphasize the need to reflect on your triggers, identify them, and either eliminate them or create a solid game plan for future encounters. Whether you're new to managing PTSD or looking for fresh insights, this episode offers a compassionate and practical approach to navigating your journey towards healing.
