"The healing journey itself should not be traumatic."
On this episode of PTSD TV Brad and I talk about another big myth that blocks a lot of people from recovery... The belief you have to remember or relive trauma to heal.
I'll let you know right now that that's not the truth.
But if you feel this way, you're not alone.. This is a myth that personally stopped my recovery journey in its tracks more than a few times.
This myth stops a lot of people from seeking help for this PTSD because that either don't even know where they'll start on their healing journey or are too afraid that they'll have to go through everything all over again to make any progress...
In this episode Brad and I bust this harmful myth so you can move forward with your recovery even if you don't remember what hurt you.
Hope you enjoy the episode!

PTSD MYTH #4: "Childhood Trauma is different. You have to remember or relive trauma to heal"

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.
