Have you set your goals for 2022 yet? Don't worry, I'm not here to criticize you if you haven't but 2022 is right around the corner... While no one knows what it will hold for you, I do know one thing that's an absolute fact. No goals = No Success If you don't know where you're going, how are you going to get there?! Today I'm bringing you another interview I did with one of my clients, Carlton. He is amazing. Specifically, his mindset and the way he takes the information he learns and makes it his own. If you don't know who you want to be in 2022, I encourage you to watch our interview and model you're future mindset off of Carlton's. Because it's people with mindsets like his that succeed on this journey. The good news is that you don't have to be born or "blessed" with a mindset like this, it's something you create. You can do this, Kayleen P.S. No one is born great or successful or anything like that. All the people that you think are successful and happy, are so because they've done the work to create the life they have. It's hard work, but you can do it, I know you can :)

I'm coming to you today with something very near and dear to my heart... PTSD is a very private journey and for most people so is healing, but in my life, I've never been more inspired than when listening to people share their stories Which is why a few weeks ago I started a special project within my coaching community asking people to share their healing stories... Tonight I'm honored to bring you Mimi's healing story You'll hear how Mimi's healing has impacted her business, relationships, mindset and find out how Mimi was able to make "impossible" progress after just weeks of coaching together When you listen, I want you to see if you can find similarities between yourself and Mimi, you're not alone Mimi's not the only one that's made progress like this. In weeks to come, I'll share more of these healing stories with you. Why? I want you to see that people who heal aren't superhuman, we're just like you, and if we can do it, so can you... You can heal. Just like Mimi is. And just like so many others have You're not broken, you're not a lost cause, you're capable of more than you realize. Hope you love it, Kayleen

On January 12th, 2021 at 1:42 PM something amazing happened... After suffering with her PTSD for years, trying countless therapies and being on a cocktail of 11 mental health medications with no progress to show for it all...a woman named Bonnie decided something had to change On that date at that exact time, Bonnie made a decision that would alter the course of her life forever. She decided to take healing into her own hands and began coaching with us through our online PTSD recovery program. The result? She fully recovered... in 10 months. Bonnie was able to go from: Feeling like a zombie with no energy Not spending time with her family Nonstop physical anxiety and chest pain Taking 11 medications for her mental health To: Having the energy to pursue her hobbies Spending and enjoying time with her family and laughing No anxiety or chest pain Taking ZERO mental health medications and she was able to do all this in just over 10 months. Bonnie is not superhuman though. She just worked her butt off, and followed the process. That's something I know you can do too You're not broken, you're not a lost cause, you CAN do this. Hope you're as inspired as I've been by Bonnie, Kayleen ‍

Do you ever feel like you're stuck and can't heal no matter how you try?   If you do, tune in to this episode of The Overcoming PTSD Podcast where Brad and I address 3 of HUGE myths about PTSD that keep people stuck.. sometimes forever.

Have you ever wanted a map to healing? Like one of those old-fashioned pieces of paper that showed you how to get from point "A" to point "B"? If so, you're in luck... Because in today's episode of The Overcoming PTSD podcast, that's exactly what I give you. I cover the 3 most important things to be able to fully recover: The foundation to your entire recovery journey Setting your journey in motion for success Getting to the root of the pain and eliminating it for good There is a path to full recovery. You just have to follow it and make sure you stay on track! Otherwise, you could be spinning your wheels for weeks or even decades. Join me here to get on track and stay on track. You're not broken, Kayleen

Have you ever wondered why no matter how hard you seem to work, or how many years you go to therapy, you still feel stuck? I used to think about this all the time. Because in theory... if you keep going to therapy and doing the work you should be making progress right? If you're like many people you've been in therapy for months, years, or even decades with little or no results. As someone that cares about you, I feel obligated to tell you: this is not okay. Here's the jarring truth: If you're not making progress, you should be. Week after week. Month after month. So why are so many people stuck and not getting results? The mental health system is focused on the fundamentally wrong thing. In our podcast today we discuss *exactly* what this problem is and what YOU can do to change your journey if you're not getting results.   You should be making progress and getting closer to full recovery. If you're not we literally made this video just. for. you. Take advantage of the pain we've been through to learn this information so we can save you decades of more running in circles with nothing to show for it. You can heal. You're not broken, you're not a lost cause, you're capable of more than you realize. See you there, Kayleen & Brad

Have you ever wondered what life without PTSD would be like? How things would be different for you if you could sleep through the night? The love you and your partner would share without the lash outs and screaming matches? When I still had PTSD I would think about things like this a lot... and I would always curse my PTSD for now allowing me to have the things I wanted... All I wanted was a chance at the life I watched so many other "normal people" live... have you ever wanted that? If you've ever felt this way, I have some really good news for you... My partner Brad and I just re-launched our podcast and that's *exactly* what we cover in this first episode. We brought the podcast back because the truth is... there's a lot of REALLY bad advice out there. You've probably come across it already. Things like: this is your "new normal" you can't go back to who you were before the only way to make things better is to learn how to cope and so on... The heartbreaking truth is, this false information is costing people their lives. Brad and I do not want this to happen to you too... and that's why we brought the podcast back... so you don't have to lose everything because of bad advice. Thanks for joining us for our first episode back! Please, join us every Monday for new content and renewed hope! The road to healing can be a lonely one, but it doesn't have to be. We're here with you and for you. To your recovery, Kayleen (& Brad & Shiloh)

Struggling with PTSD? Check out my 100% free and helpful training here: https://www.overcomingptsd.info/go About a year ago I teamed up with The Mighty to put together a PTSD Depression Masterclass. The Masterclass went so well, I actually still use the exact training to show my clients how to beat PTSD Depression. The reason I'm writing this is because since Covid-19 started, I've had a lot of people reach out for resources on depression. People saying things like... "I feel more hopeless than ever" "I don't have energy to do even the most basic of things" and "I feel like I'm fighting myself everyday and I don't want to fight all the time" If you feel this way the good news is you're not alone and I cover all of that in the Masterclass Here's exactly what I cover: • How to generate energy from thin air • How to ensure you get out of bed every day • How to build hope when all seems lost • How to bring joy back into your life • How to face the resistance of depression I've been wanting to share this for a while but had to get a few "okay's" before I released it to the public Watch The Mighty training to learn how you can beat PTSD Depression so you can stop fighting yourself and start living! I believe in you always, Kayleen P.S. Here's what one of my clients said about it just the other day in our Facebook community: "I started with the Relief tools section and I think it was in the Depression module...It made a huge difference! ...gradually it got easier and after a few days it felt good. If you haven't tried these things, I encourage you to do so. They really work!"

Struggling with PTSD? Check out my 100% free and helpful training here: https://www.overcomingptsd.info/go Have you ever wondered why you go on social media to find help for your PTSD but always leave feeling worse off? I put together this video training to answer that question exactly. It's all about how to avoid making PTSD worse on social media, specifically when it comes to the "PTSD Community". Here's what I cover in the training: - 3 delusions of sufferers everywhere - Why these can cost you everything - 4 social media rules to live by (to ensure you don't get worse) PTSD groups, communities, blogs, forums and websites can be extremely beneficial or can be the reason you find yourself stuck or at rock bottom.

Struggling with PTSD? Check out my 100% free and helpful training here: https://www.overcomingptsd.info/go Have you ever wondered if you're actually making progress on your recovery journey? I know recovery can be a "one day at a time" process sometimes, but it's important to look up sometimes to see how far you've come and if you're even on the right track. Today I put together a training encouraging you to do that and showing you what to look for... Here's what I cover in the training: - The difference between coping & healing - 10 signs you're making progress (& what healing should look like) - A common "trap" that leaves people almost healed & feeling stuck for years or even decades The truth is, taking the time to reflect, and see how far I had progressed was a really important part of my recovery journey. It showed me how far I had come and allowed me to see if I was even on the right track still. After all, you don't look at a compass once and then hope you're heading in the right direction for the rest of the trip. You check it again and again to make sure you're on track, and if you're not correct your course. PTSD is no different! I believe in you always,Kayleen

Struggling with PTSD? Check out my 100% free and helpful training here: https://www.overcomingptsd.info/go Have you ever felt like I did on my recovery? For me, recovery felt like I was working really hard to heal and get better but no matter how hard I tried I always ended up getting hurt or self sabotaging in the end. I couldn't figure out why I kept ending up back in the same spot day after day and year after year. I felt trapped. If you've felt this way too, you're not alone. Years ago I found out that a lot of people feel this way too... So many in fact that I had to make the solution part of my PTSD recovery program - Broken to Unbreakable Today I want to share something really special with you... How to get out of this trap and make real true progress In one of my Broken to Unbreakable live community Q&A's recently, I extensively covered 2 worksheets that I have all my clients complete to get out of this trap. These are the foundational actions you need to take to solve this problem. Here's what they are: "The Commitment Contract" - How to use the forces of pain and pleasure to work for you instead of against you "Designing Your Recovery Hero" - How to be intentional about who you're becoming to ensure you don't end up "trapped" in PTSD forever I'm even going to share the actual worksheets so you can download them and take action on them yourself. (links below) Remember that action is the most important part of the recovery journey. I believe in you always, Kayleen P.S.

Book a FREE PTSD recovery consultation with our team here: https://www.overcomingptsd.info/call Today Brad and I talk about another big myth that blocks a lot of people from recovery... The belief that other things in their life block them from healing. We lovingly call it "alphabet soup". PTSD, CPTSD, PNES, BPD, GAD, etc. are all labels that can seriously hut someones chances at full recovery... This tricky because PTSD is on of the most misdiagnosed things in the field of mental health... If your misdiagnosed, how are you going to know what help you really need!? You'll likely end up confused and feeling stuck with a lack of direction and not knowing where to turn or what to do. In this episode Brad and I bust this harmful myth for you and give you some incredible steps to move forward without even having a "diagnosis"! Hope you enjoy the episode! Kayleen PS Here's the link to the free PTSD recovery consultation we promised - https://www.overcomingptsd.info/call On the call we'll talk specifically about YOUR situation. We'll help you get clarity on where you are right now and where you'd like to be on the other side of PTSD. Then we'll help you bridge the gap between the two and give you resources to get you *exactly* where you need to go in the shortest amount of time possible.

Today Brad and I talk about another big myth that blocks a lot of people from recovery... The belief that their trauma is different (not as bad or worse than others) and therefore can't heal. This is an especially tricky one because if you think your trauma is not as bad as someone else's you could be telling yourself... "WOW what I went through wasn't nearly as bad as that person's, I don't really have anything to complain about..." And if you think like this you're not going to do the things you need to do to heal. You'll likely just think that you need to "get over it", stop complaining, and move on with life. And if you think that your trauma is worse than someone else's trauma you could be telling yourself... "Yeah, well you could heal, but what I went through was MUCH worse than what you went through..." And again you would prevent yourself from healing because you'll think that you are too broken to heal. So in this episode Brad and I break this harmful belief for you and give you some incredible steps to move forward without this negative internal talk! Hope you enjoy the episode! Kayleen PS Here's the link to the free PTSD recovery training we promised - https://www.overcomingptsd.info/go In it I give you the step by step process on how to actually break these limiting beliefs. And breaking these beliefs a vital to your recovery and could be the reason why you haven't fully recovered yet.

Welcome to our first PTSD Myth Marathon episode! Myth #1 is: It’s impossible to heal because PTSD changes your brain. Brad and I are going to go through the top 13 or so myths about PTSD that cause people to feel hopeless and out of control. The first PTSD myth we cover is one that I hear ALL the time from people who have PTSD, “Its impossible to heal because PTSD changed my brain and is permanently damaged”. This myth is particularly dangerous because it’s actually half true! If you have heard this myth, or believe in this myth, then this episode will really help you break that limiting belief. And thinking that PTSD changes your brain is a major limiting belief that might even be the reason why you feel hopeless or why you’ve given up on trying to heal. In order to move forward with your healing you must learn how to identify these false beliefs and myths about PTSD, or else they could drag you down into a dark hopeless hole… a place where I’ve been before, but not a place you need to be. So I hope this episode helps give you some valuable insight into your recovery journey!
