Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast is all about the power of gradualism and how tiny, consistent actions can lead to massive healing. Brad Schipke, one of the hosts, passionately explains why many in PTSD recovery often start strong, only to fizzle out and find themselves back at square one.
Instead of chasing fleeting motivation, Brad introduces the concept of gradualism—taking small, steady steps each day to build a sustainable path to recovery. Using relatable examples like the 'magic penny' that doubles daily or the impact of eating just two and a half Oreos a day over five years, Brad illustrates the compound effect. This approach isn't about quick fixes; it's about long-term consistency that gradually leads to significant change.
The episode encourages listeners to pick a goal, make it measurable and specific, and focus on daily progress rather than overwhelming transformations. Brad's engaging style makes complex concepts easy to grasp, providing practical advice for anyone struggling with PTSD or seeking a structured approach to personal goals. Whether it's losing weight, learning a new language, or achieving sobriety, this episode shows that consistency is the real magic pill. So, what's your goal?
And are you ready to take that first tiny step today?
