Welcome back to this weeks Monday motivation!
Today Brad and I talk about advice from Walt Disney himself :)
"The best way to get started is to quit talking and start doing!"
This advice is the cornerstone of recovery, most people are stuck in perpetual overthinking mode, otherwise known as analysis paralysis.
Most people with PTSD have this problem and feel overwhelmed 24/7 and therefore get nothing done. Today we show you how you can "quit talking and start doing" so you can start to see massive changes in your recovery!

Are you forced to be a "roommate" to your loved one because of PTSD?
PTSD can tear your relationship completely apart if you're not taking steps to fix things immediately.
Brad and I personally went through this phase, and we want to give you practical steps for you to turn things around.
PTSD is hard enough on it's own, don't let it pull the entire ship down with it!

Recovering from PTSD is not going to happen overnight, it takes consistent effort over long periods of time.

Here's what we're covering:
1 - Identifying the hidden little wins
2 - How to keep the good in front of you

I LOVE pain?
Do you know why?
Pain is what our bodies deliver to us when something is wrong. It shows us the path, where we need to improve, and even how to improve.
Sound too far out?
It's not. Knowing how to harness the dark side of yourself and how to tap into it for energy, power, and healing is one of the most important things you can do in your recovery journey.
Today we're going to shift the way you think about pain forever...and you might even learn to love it :)
Here's what we're covering:
1 - Why pain = growth
2 - How to use pain as an asset and indicator towards growth
3 - How to harness the power of pain to transform yourself and heal PTSD

Welcome back to this weeks episode of PTSD Relationships!
Today Brad and I talk about how you can get your partner to understand PTSD and actually get them on your side and moving in the same direction.
It can be extremely difficult to fully understand what you're going through and why you're going through it...but it is even harder to get your partner to fully understand it too.
Today we are going to show you strategies on how to build a strong connection so you can both be on the same side and moving towards the same goal together.
This was a vital skill that we needed for our own recovery.
We get a little emotional and get personal in today's episode. I hope it resonates with you and pushes you to the next level and beyond!
