How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? In this engaging episode of the Overcoming PTSD Podcast, Brad Schipke shares practical strategies for transforming negative self-talk into a positive, supportive internal dialogue. Brad delves into the concept of self-talk, which can be a game-changer in your recovery journey. You'll learn how to distinguish between your true self and the 'trauma voice' that often holds you back.
By recognising and reshaping your inner chatter, you can begin to rebuild your beliefs and regulate your emotions effectively. Brad shares personal anecdotes about his own battles with negative self-talk and how becoming aware of it was a pivotal moment in his recovery. The episode offers actionable advice on how to shift from destructive self-talk to constructive self-coaching. It's not about being overly positive or ignoring reality but about being honest and supportive with yourself.
The idea is to develop a relationship with yourself that is as nurturing and motivating as a good friend or coach would be. So, if you're ready to change the conversation in your head and make strides in your recovery, this episode is a must-listen. Remember, it's not just about what you say to yourself, but how you say it. Are you ready to be your own best coach?
