How do individuals turn their lives around after PTSD? In this engaging episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, Brad Schipke tackles the concept of decision points, a critical aspect of managing PTSD triggers. Brad breaks down how every moment of emotional reactivity can be transformed into a choice point, offering a chance to pause and make better decisions.
Drawing from his personal experiences and those of others, Brad illustrates the power of recognising these pivotal moments and choosing a path that leads to healing rather than harm. Listeners are introduced to the idea of keystone decisions, those crucial choices that set the tone for the day and ultimately, life. Brad shares practical strategies to transition from reactive to adaptive thinking, helping individuals regain control over their lives.
By using a simple framework of goal, problem, and solution, he encourages listeners to slow down and foreshadow the outcomes of their choices.

Whether you're dealing with PTSD or simply looking for ways to improve your decision-making skills, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. So, what are your keystone decisions?
