Have you ever wondered why no matter how hard you seem to work, or how many years you go to therapy, you still feel stuck?

I used to think about this all the time.

Because in theory... if you keep going to therapy and doing the work you should be making progress right?

If you're like many people you've been in therapy for months, years, or even decades with little or no results.

As someone that cares about you, I feel obligated to tell you: this is not okay.

Here's the jarring truth:

If you're not making progress, you should be. Week after week. Month after month.

So why are so many people stuck and not getting results?

The mental health system is focused on the fundamentally wrong thing.

In our podcast today we discuss *exactly* what this problem is and what YOU can do to change your journey if you're not getting results.

You should be making progress and getting closer to full recovery. If you're not we literally made this video just. for. you.

Take advantage of the pain we've been through to learn this information so we can save you decades of more running in circles with nothing to show for it.

You can heal.

You're not broken, you're not a lost cause, you're capable of more than you realize.

See you there!

October 25, 2021What no one wants to tell you about healing PTSD - the shocking TRUTH
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

Have you ever wondered what life without PTSD would be like?
How things would be different for you if you could sleep through the night?
The love you and your partner would share without the lash outs and screaming matches?
When I still had PTSD I would think about things like this a lot... and I would always curse my PTSD for now allowing me to have the things I wanted...
All I wanted was a chance at the life I watched so many other "normal people" live... have you ever wanted that?
If you've ever felt this way, I have some really good news for you... My partner Brad and I just re-launched our podcast and that's *exactly* what we cover in this first episode.
We brought the podcast back because the truth is... there's a lot of REALLY bad advice out there.
You've probably come across it already.
Things like:
this is your "new normal"
you can't go back to who you were before
the only way to make things better is to learn how to cope
and so on...
The heartbreaking truth is, this false information is costing people their lives.
Brad and I do not want this to happen to you too... and that's why we brought the podcast back... so you don't have to lose everything because of bad advice.
Thanks for joining us for our first episode back!
Please, join us every Monday for new content and renewed hope!
The road to healing can be a lonely one, but it doesn't have to be. We're here with you and for you.
To your recovery!

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

Today I got this question:
"I always give and give until there's nothing left for me. I feel selfish for taking care of myself, how do I change my thinking about this?"
Do you ever feel selfish for taking care of yourself?
I used to, the reality is that you're the first link in the chain of your life.
If YOU are not good, then nothing in your life will be good. It's not either or. It's AND. You can take care of others AND take care of yourself.
You matter.

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

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 - https://youtu.be/SbBb5q60ygA
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!
