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.

What is YOU and what is PTSD?
It seems like a never ending internal battle between you and your PTSD...
I used to always ask myself...
"Why do I always lash out at Brad, the love of my life?"
I could never understand why I was so angry, sad, frustrated, and scared all the time.
It was like I had these two internal forces inside of me fighting to the death.
One side wanted to be kind and loving...it wanted to hold Brad close and tell him how much he meant to me.
And the other side was just pure rage and wanted to pick fights...it wanted to find everything wrong in EVERY situation and make life a living hell.
Why did this happen?
Why did I have these two sides inside of me constantly fighting each other?
These questions caused me so much confusion, guilt, and pain.
I felt like I was this good person, but I would always do bad things that hurt the people I loved...
Things didn't start to change for me until I realized this...
I learned how to separate myself from my PTSD.
I learned about these two conflicting forces inside of me...
I learned that part of me was PTSD and everything that part of me did came from a place of terror and extreme pain.
And the other part of me was the true me and everything this part did came from a place of love and acceptance.
I discovered what was truly me, and what was PTSD...
Listen...
You are NOT a bad person.
It's not your fault that you hurt and lash out at the ones you love.
You went through an extreme amount of pain, and PTSD is the result of that pain.
Realize that PTSD comes from pain, and the part of you that's angry, sad, and scared is just craving to be loved and accepted by YOU.
PTSD is just a part of you that's hurt, a part that's in need of help, love, and healing.
Once I realized this the battle inside me calmed.
I was able to see myself for who I really was, and was able to understand why I did everything I did.
It wasn't because I was a bad person, it was just because I was hurt.
And the same thing goes for YOU.

Today Brad and I talk about how you can (and should) use the Myers Briggs personality test to help you in your relationship.
Knowing and learning about your partner's personality type helps you understand where your partner is coming from. It allows you to get an inside look at how their brain ticks.
Personality tests shine awareness on you and your partner's strengths, weaknesses, communication styles, and so much more!
Most people in general have a hard time communicating in a romantic relationship, but with PTSD it can seem impossible. This is just one tool we want you to use to help you communicate better and more calmly with the ones you love!
Enjoy!

Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of doing a 6 month interview with one of my clients Jen Ready..
Jen enrolled in Broken to Unbreakable about 6 months ago and since has seen some absolutely amazing changes in her life.
After suffering with PTSD for most of her life, Jen approached me nervous but ready for a change
In this interview we talk about the moments Jen new things had to change, how she was able to change so profoundly and what her life looks like now.
Just a few weeks after working together Jen saw amazing results in her sleep life and mindset, but after a few months things have really taken off
Jen approached me to do this interview a few weeks ago so she could help spread the belief that recovery from PTSD is possible
Out of pure love and kindness Jen wanted to do this interview just for YOU!We hope this serves you well and if you want to know more about how Jen was able to heal and so quickly I'm running a free training talking about the exact path Jen took..
You can register to see one with this link here: http://www.overcomingptsd.info/go
Don't let PTSD keep you in a prison any longer! Like Jen says, it's time to take your life back and kick PTSD out of your life for good!
In a few months it could be YOU on the other end of the line spreading hope and love and positivity :)
