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.

Have you blamed your progress, healing, sobriety, or anything else on other people or events?
Like the rest of us, you probably have and that’s okay. We’re only human after all… but at the end of the day if we don’t take responsibility for our lives… who will? And what kind of position will that leave us in?
In today's clip from our Recovery Secrets daily coaching program, you’ll hear me talk about blame and excuses. This topic may feel like a kick in the butt, but I promise you it comes from love and wanting what’s best for you long term.

Do you find yourself complaining about the price of gas or rising grocery costs?
Little things that are out of our control can take over the conversations in our heads and cause us a lot of undue pain and negativity. PTSD makes this much worse and can even cause things like this to damage things like our self-worth, relationships, and sleep.
In today's clip from our Recovery Secrets daily coaching program, you’ll hear Brad and I talk about acceptance. What acceptance is and isn’t, how to practice acceptance and what healthy acceptance looks like.

Have you tried and failed to set boundaries before?
Trauma can make setting boundaries both hard and extremely necessary. Good boundaries can allow you to feel at peace, safe, and in control of your relationships. Bad boundaries can cause you distress, turmoil, and self-hatred, and even cause you to get abused.
In today's clip from our Recovery Secrets daily coaching program, you’ll hear Brad and I talk about the foundations of boundaries. What a boundary is and isn’t, types of boundaries, and what needs to happen internally before you set any boundaries.
