Host: Brad Schipke • Overcoming PTSD Podcast • Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching
In this Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching session, Brad and Kayleen walk you through a powerful “Recovery Hero” exercise designed to bridge the gap between who you are today and who you become after fully healing from PTSD. Instead of guessing your way through recovery, you’ll learn how to define your current self, your future healed self, and the specific path that connects the two.
You’ll be guided to step into the shoes of your future, fully recovered self and “look back” at how you got there. From that perspective, you’ll map out the stepping stones—habits, decisions, tools, and mindset shifts—that carried you from triggers, pain, and survival mode into peace, strength, and stability.
Brad and Kayleen also share how visualization, self-image, and your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) help you program your mind for PTSD recovery instead of staying stuck in old patterns. You’ll see how to turn your life into a redemption story and start building real belief that healing is not only possible, but inevitable when you follow a clear roadmap.
By the end of the episode, you’ll have a practical challenge: write your own Recovery Hero story from “now” to your future self, so you can stop feeling broken and start living as the unbreakable version of you that’s already inside.
