Disappointing
The man spoke to quickly and was erratic and convoluted in his talking he took forever to say nothing I kept waiting for him to make his point. Could be a great podcast with more robust planning and calmer delivery

Great show
Hello,
Are you interested in discussing whether my experiences align with the theme of your show? I share my journey of triumphing over severe childhood trauma to become who I am today. As a motivational speaker and an upcoming author, I recount my life’s narrative and the challenges I’ve surmounted.

Not for me. Tense energy
I’m sure the info is great and helpful but I can’t receive it because for me, his voice, way of speaking, energy is kind of manic and high intensity. I hear a lot of anxiety/tension and just listening made me feel tense.

Help needed, help given
My spouse was shot in the street on her way home from work. Both of us have utilized this podcast so very much, in dealing with the traumatic aftermath.
Additionally, the info given out in this podcast is useful for any person who’s struggling emotionally, not just PTSD.

Not for me
The lady is really stressful and talks hyper-fast and I find the advice questionable. Like “maximizing your time” and trying to squeeze in your healing when you would otherwise rest, to not “lose that time”. Not for me unfortunately. I find the podcast triggering. It’s probably more for highly functioning people with light trauma.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#62 You Don’t Have Relationship Problems, You Have Trauma Problems | Recovery Secrets Series

Q: What is the relationship equation?

The relationship equation suggests that both partners must take 100% responsibility for their part in the relationship, which means personal growth directly affects the relationship's health.

#62 You Don’t Have Relationship Problems, You Have Trauma Problems | Recovery Secrets Series

Q: How do I lighten up in my relationship?

The key to lightening up in relationships involves shifting your mindset, incorporating curiosity, and assuming the best intentions from your partner.

#65 Habit Stacking For Trauma Survivors: Small Changes, Big Results | Recovery Secrets Series

Q: Why do new habits not stick for me? Is the 21 days to create a habit really true?

The 21-day rule is arbitrary; it varies for individuals. It can take anywhere from 17 days to 264 days to build a habit, and it often depends on how ingrained the negative habit is and the emotional ties to it.

#65 Habit Stacking For Trauma Survivors: Small Changes, Big Results | Recovery Secrets Series

Q: If I want to change negative thoughts habit, would it be in the moment in my head that I naturally have a negative thought, I shift to the positive or would you provide an example of how to do that?

You should shift them to the positive or ask, what is good in this moment or what am I grateful for. This kind of self-talk can help you take control of your thoughts, rather than letting them control you.

#63 The Power of One Thing: Daily Wins for Long-Term Trauma Healing | Recovery Secrets Series

Q: What changed in those moments, where you went from negative momentum to positive momentum?

It started with pain reaching a point where I felt a need for change and regained hope in my ability to make a difference.
