Healing PTSD: Beyond Medication and Therapy with Positive Psychology
This problem will not be ended by Prozac. You must take it into your own hands. You cannot rely on people... Make sure you're the one giving instructions. This is how we want to work on it, and this is how I want my session to look right, because I had very specific objectives going there and, knowing what I wanted to get out of it, I could go into that session and be like okay, you can or you can't help me.
Can we truly heal PTSD without relying solely on medication and therapy? In this thought-provoking episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke tackle this question head-on. They draw inspiration from Martin Seligman, the renowned father of positive psychology, who argues that the widespread use of antidepressants and therapy isn't the ultimate solution for mental health issues. Seligman believes that while these methods have their place, they aren't enough to heal an entire generation.
So, what’s the alternative? Kayleen and Brad dive into actionable strategies for taking control of your own recovery journey. They emphasize the importance of self-responsibility, setting specific goals in therapy, and developing a robust recovery plan that works in any situation. This episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement for anyone struggling with PTSD. The hosts’ personal experiences with overcoming PTSD add a layer of authenticity and hope, making their message resonate even more.
