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.

PTSD and Beyond is #1 of
Feedspots' 20 Best PTSD Podcasts in 2024!
Support PTSD and Beyond on Ko-Fi and Patreon!
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.

July 27, 2024 Understanding Pain: What Is It Trying to Tell Us?
PTSD and Beyond is #1 of
Feedspots' 20 Best PTSD Podcasts in 2024!
Support PTSD and Beyond on Ko-Fi and Patreon
Hey, everybody, it’s Dr. Deb here with PTSD and Beyond. In this insightful episode, I dive deep into the common advice of "sitting with the pain" and why it’s not entirely accurate. We often hear that we need to embrace our pain, but what does that really mean? Through personal experiences and professional insights, I'll discuss why simply sitting with pain can lead to feeling overwhelmed and re-experiencing trauma.
I’ll introduce you to a more complete approach by asking the crucial question: "What is this pain trying to tell me?" We'll explore the work of Dr. Dan Siegel and his concept of "Name it to Tame it," which helps us better process our emotions. I'll share a recent personal experience where identifying and naming my pain led to clarity and a breakthrough, bringing a sense of freedom and peace.
This episode also includes a special poem I wrote during an emotional moment, highlighting the duality of pain and joy and the importance of embracing both. By understanding the root of our emotions, we can achieve deeper self-awareness and healing.
Join me as I share these techniques for navigating emotional pain, achieving breakthroughs, and ultimately finding strength and calm. Remember, we're better together, we're stronger together, and take what resonates and go beyond.
