In this soul-stirring episode of PTSD and Beyond, we dive deep into the pain of being doubted by the very people who should lift us up, and the incredible power of never giving up on ourselves. Dr. Deb shares their personal journey of enduring criticism from a parent, only to discover the wisdom and strength they carried all along.
This episode goes beyond motivation—it speaks directly to the part of you that knows who you are, the part that has carried you through every challenge. We explore the importance of rediscovering yourself after pain, believing in yourself when no one else does, and how to keep moving forward when the world seems determined to tell you otherwise.
If you’ve ever felt unheard, criticized, or doubted by the people who were supposed to believe in you, this episode is for you. We’ll remind you of the inner wisdom you’ve always had, and how it has the power to guide you forward, no matter the obstacles. Remember—you’ve never truly lost yourself. You just need to trust that quiet voice within, and never forget: remember who you are.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we delve into the power of resilience and the moments when we surprise ourselves by achieving what we once thought was impossible. Inspired by the quote by Dr. Deb Lindh, “Just when you think you cannot do something, you surprise yourself and find out that you can,” we unpack how self-efficacy, mindful self-compassion, and the psychology of breaking through personal limits can transform your outlook on life.
Join us as we explore how to shift limiting beliefs, reflect on past successes, and cultivate a compassionate mindset to push beyond perceived boundaries.
Key Topics Covered:
Self-Efficacy: Learn about the psychology of self-efficacy, founded by Albert Bandura, and how believing in your ability to succeed plays a key role in overcoming obstacles. Discover how small wins and external encouragement can help build your confidence.
Mindful Self-Compassion Exercise: Follow along with a guided practice that will teach you how to extend kindness to yourself, especially in moments of doubt, to keep moving forward.
Breaking Personal Limits: Explore how moments of surprising yourself often come from building a foundation of resilience, persistence, and mindfulness.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I explore a topic that often goes under the radar: the stress that comes with transitioning to a healthy normal. For those of us with a trauma background, unhealthy environments can become so familiar that experiencing a healthy normal actually feels stressful. I’ll explain why this happens and how we can navigate this transition.
I’ll be discussing:
Understanding the Transition to Healthy Normal: Why it can be challenging and how to recognize this often-overlooked aspect of healing.
Nervous System Adjustment: How our nervous system shifts from a state of hypervigilance to calm, and what that means for our mental and physical well-being.
Recognizing Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: How these can sneak in and hinder our progress, and what we can do about it.
Embracing the Healthy New Normal: Tips and strategies to help our nervous system adjust and thrive in a healthier state.
I’ll also share some of my personal insights and experiences to provide a deeper understanding of how we can move from chronic stress to a state of calm and safety. This episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement for anyone on the healing journey.
Join me as we explore valuable tools and perspectives on embracing a healthier, more balanced life.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I'm diving into a question that really got me thinking: "What’s the recipe to get started?" This came from one of our listeners, and it's something we all face—how to begin when there's no clear step-by-step guide for reaching our personal goals. I'll be sharing some of my own experiences, the key moments that led me to fully commit to healing and growth.
We'll walk through four essential steps to get started:
Awareness: Recognizing what's happening around you and seeing things for what they truly are.
Deciding: Choosing what you want and figuring out what needs to be done to get there.
Taking Action: Putting those decisions into motion to move forward.
Commitment: Staying true to your path every day, even when you hit bumps along the way.
I'll also talk about the power of hope, inspiration, and how positive emotions like joy and love can spread and uplift us. It's about trusting your gut and your heart as you navigate your healing journey.
Tune in to this insightful episode as we explore the steps to get started on your path to healing and growth.
