Struggling with PTSD and ready to FULLY recover? Join my recovery program here (costs less than a single therapy session): <a href='https://www.skool.com/brokentounbreakable'>https://www.skool.com/brokentounbreakable</a>
 
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.

YOU MATTER: How To Take Care Of Yourself AND Others Without Feeling Selfish Or Guilty

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.
