Lighten Up And Laugh A Little | PTSD And Relationships: PTSD TV

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.
