When you have 2 hurt people coming together trying to solve problems nothing gets better...
Usually things end up worse...more fights, holes in walls, and closed off hearts.
It's because 99% of people focus on healing their relationship...and this is all wrong!
Things don't get better until you heal each individual. You need to spend more time fixing YOU than trying to fix your relationship.
Be honest, how much time are you spending on healing YOU?
If you're like me and Brad were, it's almost 0% of the time. Most of people's time is usually spend on running from their problems rather than facing them.
Today Brad and I talk about this key lesson that we learned the hard way and we hope that you can avoid the painful moment that we went through.
Hope you enjoy the episode today!
To your recovery!

Today Brad and I talk about the book "Psycho Cybernetics" and how you can program your mind for full recovery from PTSD.
Your mind is like a machine, one that automatically strives to achieve any goal it's fed. The problem here is that most of us feed our minds with negative goals through worry and "worst case scenario" thinking.
PTSD causes most people to spiral down with negative thoughts and images. It's these things that program our mind for failure...we end up optimizing to fail and our negative thinking patterns turn into a self fulfilling prophecy.
We teach you simple techniques that you can implement TODAY to start programming your mind for success!
Here's what we're covering:
1 - The self image...how you see yourself
2 - Your built in success (or failure) mechanism
3 - How to program your built in success mechanism with visualization

Today is the first episode of our "Famous Failure's" PTSD TV Monday Motivation Episode. Today we're talking about Thomas Edison and how we can learn to become a master over failure.
Edison had hit many roadblocks in his life, but it didn't stop him from achieving extraordinary things in his life.
He's been called too stupid to learn anything, was fired from multiple jobs for being "unproductive", failed over 1,000 times to create the light bulb, and lost millions of dollars from a fire in his factory.
Despite all of this he kept pushing forward through these failures to achieve something amazing.
This is something you face everyday...the challenges of PTSD. And today we're going to share some incredible lessons that we've learned and that you can apply to your own recovery.
So sit back and enjoy our very first episode of "Famous Failures"!
Here's what we're covering:
1 - Who is Thomas Edison
2 - How was he a (major) failure
3 - What lessons can we learn and apply from his mistakes

Do you feel like you do everything for your partner, but they don't even appreciate it?
This comes from a lack of perspective...let me explain...
You and your partner accept love in different ways, and the way you accept and give love may not be the way your partner accepts and gives love.
Today Brad and I walk you through a book called "The 5 Love Languages" by Gary Chapman.
This book can help you rekindle real deep connection within your relationship...which is something very hard to come by when you're in a PTSD relationship.
We also uncover how to use this newfound clarity and understanding to connect with other non-romantic relationships so you can build deep meaningful relationships with others you care about!
