Host: Brad Schipke • Overcoming PTSD Podcast • Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching
In this Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching session, Brad and Kaylene walk you through the second step of the “Recovery Hero Bootcamp”: defining your future self. Instead of trying to force yourself into other people’s expectations, you’ll learn how to design the healed version of you who has walked through PTSD and come out the other side.
They explore why most trauma survivors struggle to answer the question “What do I really want?” and how years of people-pleasing, survival mode, and pain can make it hard to imagine anything different. Brad and Kaylene break this down into a practical exercise that turns your current struggles into a clear picture of your Recovery Hero.
You’ll hear real examples of how to invert your current habits, beliefs, and reactions into the traits of your future self, plus how to borrow specific qualities from people you admire without losing your own identity. This episode shows you how to treat goal setting as a creative, judgment-free brainstorm instead of another way to beat yourself up.
Finally, Brad explains why every big goal — especially healing from PTSD — requires a deep transformation, not just “trying harder.” You’ll walk away with a simple, doable action step to start defining your Recovery Hero today, and prepare for tomorrow’s session on bridging the gap between who you are now and who you’re becoming.
💡 What You’ll Learn
How to define your “Recovery Hero” as the fully healed version of you after PTSD
Why you must know where you are now before you can map where you’re going
How to turn “I don’t want this” into a clear vision of what you do want
How to stop living for other people’s goals and start honoring your own
A simple way to use traits from people you admire without becoming a copy of them
Why numbness, hopelessness, and dissociation are understandable AND workable states
How to use divergent thinking to brainstorm your future self without judgment
Why any real PTSD healing goal requires personal transformation, not perfection
Practical reflection questions to guide how your Recovery Hero thinks, feels, and responds
🧠 Key Takeaway
You don’t have to become a different person to heal from PTSD — you’re uncovering and growing into who you truly are beneath the pain.
