Host: Brad Schipke • Overcoming PTSD Podcast • Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching
In this episode, Brad and Kayleen kick off a special Bilateral Processing Bootcamp week, laying the mindset foundations you need before using one of the most powerful trauma-processing tools they teach. Instead of jumping straight into technique, they walk you through why your beliefs, expectations, and attitude toward healing will make or break your results.
You’ll learn why bilateral processing (similar in concept to EMDR) can give you “unlimited therapy sessions” on your own time, and why it’s actually more dangerous to stay stuck in rumination, self-sabotage, and triggers than it is to process your trauma. Brad and Kayleen dismantle the myth that you need a professional with you at every step and explain the shift from dependent healing to independent healing.
They also reframe discomfort as a good sign that you’re moving toward freedom, not further harm. By the end, you’ll see that you don’t have to be perfect, you don’t need a PhD, and you’re not “too broken” — you just need the right foundations, the right tools, and the decision to keep going.
💡 What You’ll Learn
🧠 Key Takeaway
Healing from PTSD becomes inevitable when you stop waiting for perfect conditions, trust yourself with the tools, and keep taking imperfect action.
