Overcoming PTSD with Brad Schipke
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:
-
Process unhealed memories safely and effectively
-
Regulate anxiety, panic, and emotional flashbacks
-
Rebuild relationships and self-trust after trauma
-
End cycles of depression, dissociation, and avoidance
-
Create a life filled with peace, purpose, and joy
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.

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!

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.

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
