Curious about how your environment impacts your recovery journey? This episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast explores the concept of 'environment design' and its role in PTSD recovery. Hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke delve into how your surroundings can significantly affect your mental state and behaviour. They share anecdotes, including a story about a friend whose mood drastically improved after decluttering her home.
Brad emphasises that while our inner world often reflects our outer world, changing the latter can influence the former. The episode is packed with practical advice on how to optimise your living space to support your recovery goals, from laying out gym clothes to decluttering spaces tied to trauma. Kayleen shares her personal experiences of adjusting environments to foster positivity and healing.
The hosts encourage listeners to conduct an 'environment audit'—assessing whether their surroundings support their recovery objectives and making necessary changes. It's not just about tidying up; it's about creating a sanctuary that nurtures healing and growth. As you listen, you'll be inspired to rethink your space and make intentional changes that align with your recovery journey. So, what's one small change you can make today to support your healing?
