VIDEO NOTES:
There are internal and external triggers. Internal are inside your mind like thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. External are people, places, sounds, sights, smells, times of year, etc.
Steps to managing your triggers...
1. Reclaim your mind
a. Accept that you're triggered, don't fight it 
b. Get to a safe space 
c. Tell yourself things are different and be present 
d. Shift negative thoughts to positive ones (even if uncomfortable)
2. Build your recovery toolbox
Go here to watch an in depth 1 hour training on the best relief tools - <a href='https://youtu.be/SbBb5q60ygA'>https://youtu.be/SbBb5q60ygA </a>
Like I said, if you were to coach with me and pay me $1,000's this is the first thing I'd tell you to do. Don't ignore it!
3. Reflect, identify, and eliminate triggers
a. Most people never learn and repeat destructive patterns 
b. Learn but don't dwell 
c. Eliminate the trigger or create a game plan for future 
d. Put 2 columns on piece of paper, 1st column list triggers, 2nd write down how you will eliminate it or the game plan for the future.
Thanks for watching!

3 Ways To Manage PTSD Triggers (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Welcome to Overcoming PTSD with Brad Schipke — the show that helps trauma survivors fully recover and rebuild their lives without therapy or medication.
I’m Brad Schipke, a trauma recovery coach who’s personally healed PTSD, complex PTSD, and addiction. I know exactly how hopeless trauma can feel — and I also know the proven path forward.
Each week, you’ll get powerful conversations, science-backed tools, and real-world strategies for healing trauma, calming your nervous system, and overcoming PTSD symptoms for good.
We’ll explore how to:
<ul>
<li>
Process unhealed memories safely and effectively
</li>
<li>
Regulate anxiety, panic, and emotional flashbacks
</li>
<li>
Rebuild relationships and self-trust after trauma
</li>
<li>
End cycles of depression, dissociation, and avoidance
</li>
<li>
Create a life filled with peace, purpose, and joy
</li>
</ul>
Through in-depth interviews with survivors and experts, plus my own lessons from guiding thousands through recovery, you’ll discover what actually works — and what doesn’t — in the healing process.
Whether you’re at the beginning of your journey or deep in recovery, you’ll find hope, validation, and clear next steps here.
Because healing from PTSD and CPTSD isn’t a dream — it’s a repeatable, achievable reality.
You can heal. You deserve to heal. And you don’t have to do it alone.
