Host: Brad Schipke • Overcoming PTSD Podcast • Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching
In today’s Mindset Bootcamp kickoff, Brad and Kayleen dive deep into the first and most important pillar of PTSD recovery—commitment. This isn’t about half-hearted effort or “trying” to heal; it’s about deciding that you’ll do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, until full recovery is your reality.
You’ll learn how to build the foundation of a recovery mindset that doesn’t rely on motivation or perfect conditions. Through the concepts of pain and pleasure, you’ll uncover why you may not have fully committed in the past—and how to rewire your brain to make healing both emotionally compelling and non-negotiable.
By the end, you’ll have a concrete action step: writing and signing your own Commitment Contract—a personal declaration that holds you accountable to your recovery, your growth, and your future self.
💡 What You’ll Learn
Why commitment is the foundation of PTSD recovery
How to define commitment as action, not just intention
The “pain and pleasure” model that drives (or blocks) healing
How to find your true why for recovery that keeps you going
The difference between saying you’ll heal and actually doing it
How to stay accountable when no one else is watching
Why you must commit to yourself—not anyone else
A simple structure to write your own commitment contract
How to love “the lag” between your effort and results
🧠Key TakeawayCommitment means doing whatever it takes, for as long as it takes—no matter what—to fully recover.
