#11 Recovery Hero Pt. 2: Write Your Story & Start Living It | Recovery Secrets Series
Struggling with PTSD and ready to FULLY recover? Join my recovery program here (costs less than a single therapy session): https://www.skool.com/brokentounbreakable
In this episode of the Overcoming PTSD Podcast, host Brad Schipke continues the Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching series with Part 2 of the Recovery Hero method: designing your future, healed self and bridging the gap from who you are now to who you become. You’ll learn how to define your Recovery Hero identity, write your Recovery Hero Story (as if it already happened), and use moment-to-moment visualization to make the same choices your future self would make.
Brad outlines the 8 milestones of full recovery—from control and calm to freedom and healthy relationships—then shows you how to translate those outcomes into beliefs, self-talk, habits, and daily decisions. You’ll also learn a simple “What would my Recovery Hero do?” prompt to use at decision points so your actions begin matching your identity—today.
What you’ll learn
How to define your Recovery Hero (future self) in practical terms: beliefs, self-talk, routines, boundaries, relationships.
The Recovery Hero Story technique: write it in the past tense (as if you already did it) to program your path.
The 8 markers of full recovery (control, energy, relationships, self-love, fully processed past, freedom, substance-freedom, calm) and how to aim your goals at them.
A moment-to-moment visualization cue (“What would my Recovery Hero do?”) to guide everyday choices.
Why small decisions compound into weeks, months, and a new identity.
Try this today
Write your Recovery Hero Story (past-tense, first-person). Describe how you handled hard moments, processed your past, and rebuilt habits.
Visualize Future-You for 3–5 minutes. Feel the self-talk, body posture, calm, and boundaries of your Recovery Hero.
At your next decision point, ask: “What would my Recovery Hero do?” Then do that—especially in small, ordinary moments.
