So it's actually not valentine's day, which I just realized, but happy valentine's day, and we love you and we will see you all next time.
Have you ever wondered what love truly means, especially when you're grappling with PTSD? In this episode of the Overcoming PTSD Podcast, hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke tackle this profound question. They explore the often misunderstood concept of love and its critical role in the journey to recovery from PTSD. Many people, they explain, have a skewed vision of love, which can lead them into hurtful relationships.
Kayleen and Brad aim to clear up these misconceptions and guide listeners on how to give love, accept love, and most importantly, love themselves. One of the key points discussed is the idea of 100%/100% love. This concept involves both partners giving their all to the relationship without expecting anything in return. It’s about letting go of expectations and taking full responsibility for the relationship's success. While this might sound challenging, it's essential for building a strong, healthy bond.
Effective communication is another cornerstone of the discussion. Kayleen and Brad emphasize the importance of calmly and lovingly expressing needs and desires within a relationship. This approach helps prevent misunderstandings and reduces tension, fostering a more loving and understanding environment. Ultimately, this episode serves as a reminder that love can be a powerful tool in PTSD recovery. By choosing love over anger and focusing on effective communication, individuals can overcome the challenges posed by PTSD and build stronger, healthier relationships.
Tune in to learn how redefining your understanding of love can be a transformative step in your recovery journey.
