Welcome to Overcoming PTSD! I’m Brad Schipke, your host and guide on this journey of healing and transformation. As someone who has walked the path from trauma to recovery, I understand the challenges, fears, and doubts that come with PTSD - and more importantly, I know the way forward. Each week, I bring you powerful conversations, practical tools, and transformative insights about healing from trauma and PTSD. We explore everything from managing anxiety and depression to rebuilding relationships, conquering addiction, and ultimately creating a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose. Through intimate interviews with survivors, discussions with experts, and sharing of proven healing techniques, this podcast offers both hope and practical guidance for your recovery journey. My own path has led me from the depths of PTSD and addiction to a life I once couldn’t imagine was possible - one filled with genuine joy, deep connections, and inner peace. This transformation fuels my passion for showing others what’s possible. Every episode is crafted with one goal in mind: to provide you with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration you need to heal completely from PTSD and repair the damage it’s caused in your life. Whether you’re just beginning to understand your trauma, well along your healing journey, or supporting someone with PTSD, you’ll find valuable insights and practical strategies here. From exploring cutting-edge healing techniques to sharing real stories of recovery, we dive deep into what it truly takes to overcome PTSD and create lasting transformation. Even if you don’t believe healing is possible for you right now, I do. I’ve witnessed countless individuals transform their lives, and I’m here to tell you that full recovery isn’t just a dream - it’s an achievable reality. You deserve a life free from the weight of trauma, and I’m committed to helping you get there. Join me every Monday as we explore the path to healing, growth, and transformation. Together, we’ll discover not just how to survive trauma, but how to thrive beyond it. You can do this. You do deserve this. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Today we talk about Gary Keller's Book "The ONE Thing" on our newest episode of PTSD Book Club...
You might be asking yourself...
Why are you reviewing a book that's not about PTSD?
Well, it's simple actually...
You need to be learning how to grow and improve your life from all different sources.
You need an open mind and a desire to learn from everyone if you want to make a full recovery.
When you close your mind to new ideas you prevent yourself from growing and recovering.
Here's what we're covering...
1 - How to figure out what's most important and how to give it your undivided attention
2 - The 4 Thieves of Progress (Any ONE of these could derail your recovery!)
3 - How to make sure you're recovering as fast as possible by using the "focusing question"
Learn all this and more in today's episode!
Learning what to focus on, and how to take action on it is vital...
Or else you'll be spinning your tires trying to go in a million and one directions at once and effectively go...
Nowhere.
So listen up and get ready to expand your thinking!

SUMMARY
Why are we talking about things you SHOULDN’T do?
Because the success that you have in your PTSD recovery is not about what you add, it’s about what you eliminate.
You’ll find when you cut out all the bad in your life, things start to get a LOT better!
You’ll always hear about things you should be adding to your life, but that can make things confusing…
We always need to be looking for things to eliminate…
Things that hold us back and keep us repeating these same cycles over and over.
Interested in learning what you NEED to eliminate?
Great! Because today we’re reviewing and talking about Amy Morin’s Upcoming Book… “13 Things Mentally Strong Women Don’t Do”!
