Busting the Myth: Can PTSD Truly Heal or Just Hide?
You don't heal the full root. And once you heal that, that's the very root of things.
Ever heard that PTSD can never be fully healed and only goes into remission? Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke are here to set the record straight in this episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast. They tackle the widespread belief that PTSD is a lifelong sentence and explain why so many people find themselves stuck in a cycle of coping rather than healing.
Kayleen and Brad dive deep into the 'seesaw effect'—those ups and downs that make it feel like recovery is just out of reach. They argue that true healing comes from addressing the root cause of trauma, not just managing its symptoms. With personal stories and practical advice, they share how they moved from merely coping to genuine recovery.
Brad talks about the importance of finding the trauma's core, comparing it to pulling out a weed by its roots rather than just trimming its leaves. The episode offers a roadmap for anyone on the healing journey, emphasizing the need for discipline, mindset shifts, and consistent routines. By sharing their own experiences, Kayleen and Brad offer hope and concrete steps for those looking to break free from the cycle of PTSD.
