Get ready to be moved by real-life accounts of overcoming PTSD in this episode of the Overcoming PTSD Podcast. Brad Schipke, a seasoned recovery coach, brings a unique perspective on the intricate dance between emotional and logical thinking. This episode is part of the Recovery Secrets Series, where Brad tackles one of the most overlooked aspects of recovery: finding the right balance between being too emotional and too logical.
He explains how being overly emotional can lead to reactive behaviours, while an excess of logic can cause you to ignore important feelings. The real magic happens when you find harmony between these two ways of thinking. Brad delves into practical strategies for shifting from a reactive mindset to an adaptive one. He introduces a simple yet powerful two-step process to regain control over your mind.
The first step is building awareness through practices like meditation and journaling, which help separate you from your thoughts and see them clearly. The second step involves using the GPS framework—Goal, Problem, Solution—to navigate challenges effectively. Brad's anecdotes, such as his own experiences with emotional triggers, add a personal touch, making the advice relatable and actionable. This episode isn't just for those dealing with PTSD; it's for anyone looking to improve their mental resilience and regain control over their thoughts.
As Brad puts it, "Your reality is created by you," encouraging listeners to take charge of their recovery journey. How do you balance emotion and logic in your own life? Tune in to this episode for tools that might just change your perspective.
