Breaking the 50-Minute Myth: Taking Charge of Your PTSD Recovery
Everything, everything, everything starts in your brain, and it doesn't make any sense to not take care of your brain and your mental health.
Ever felt like you're stuck in an endless loop of therapy sessions and medication without seeing real progress in your PTSD recovery? You're not alone. In this episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast, hosts Kayleen Wright and Brad Schipke tackle the '50 Minute Myth'—the idea that just a short weekly therapy session is enough to heal from PTSD. Spoiler alert: it’s not.
Kayleen and Brad, both seasoned PTSD recovery coaches who have walked this path themselves, share their insights on why this myth persists and how it can derail your healing journey. They dive into the pitfalls of relying solely on traditional therapy and medication, emphasizing the importance of consistent, daily effort in reclaiming your mental health. But it's not all doom and gloom. The hosts offer practical, actionable advice on how to take control of your own recovery.
From setting daily goals to finding alternative therapies that work for you, this episode is packed with tips that can help you make meaningful progress. They stress that personal responsibility is key—recovery isn't something that happens to you; it's something you actively work towards every day. If you're tired of feeling stuck and are ready to take charge of your PTSD recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
Kayleen and Brad's message is clear: full recovery is possible, but it requires more than just showing up for a 50-minute session each week. Tune in for a dose of hope, encouragement, and practical strategies to help you on your journey to healing.
