Debunking the Myth: 'My Trauma Is Different' in PTSD Recovery
If you believe that you are different and therefore you can't ever heal, you will never heal, because your belief will feed your actions, which will feed your results, your thoughts and then strengthen that belief.
Do you ever feel like your trauma is so unique that healing seems impossible? In this eye-opening episode of the Overcoming PTSD Podcast, hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke tackle a pervasive myth that often stands in the way of recovery: the belief that one's trauma is either not as bad or worse than others, making healing seem out of reach.
This episode dives into how these thoughts can trap you in a cycle of self-doubt and hinder your path to recovery. Kayleen and Brad share their own experiences and explain why comparing traumas is counterproductive. They stress that the only pain that truly matters is your own and that everyone has the potential to heal, regardless of the nature of their trauma. With practical steps and personal anecdotes, they offer a roadmap to breaking free from this harmful mindset.
From adjusting your daily routines to changing your mindset, they emphasize the importance of self-belief and taking personal responsibility for your healing journey. While therapists and coaches can guide you, the real work comes from within. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion filled with actionable advice aimed at helping you reclaim your life from PTSD.
