Mastering Your Mind: Strategies for PTSD Recovery
Everything in your life starts in your mind, and most people don't want to look at what's in their mind or they don't even know what's going on in their mind because they're so focused on getting away from their thoughts in their mind.
Feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Overcoming PTSD Podcast', hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke dive into the often chaotic world of our minds and offer practical steps to regain control. They discuss how many of us try to drown out mental noise with distractions like TV, food, or even alcohol, but there's a better way to handle it.
Kayleen and Brad share their personal journeys and professional insights to help you become more aware of your thoughts and emotions. They introduce the Stepping Stone exercise, a technique to replace negative thoughts with more positive or neutral ones, making it easier to navigate the mental maze. Meditation also comes up as a powerful tool for calming the mind and fostering recovery.
Plus, they talk about their Broken2Unbreakable program, which provides a clear roadmap for those seeking structured guidance on their healing journey. Whether you're battling PTSD yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable advice and encouragement to optimize your mind for recovery.
