If you’re healing from PTSD, optimizing sleep is critical. In this session, Brad and Kayleen share two sleep optimization checklists (behavior + environment) and walk through solutions to common PTSD sleep struggles, including nightmares and waking up anxious. 📑 Download the Sleep Optimization Checklist: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aj1iroflp9RJKxOk3lfT9POCRVbvzyHe/view You’ll learn why sleep must be the foundation of your health, how consistent routines regulate brain chemistry, and why small changes (like removing screens, adjusting light, or even making your bed) have a massive impact. They also teach practical tools for when you can’t sleep, and give a step-by-step checklist for handling nightmares—so you can wake up calmer, clearer, and ready for recovery. Key Takeaways: Work your schedule around sleep, not the other way around. Consistent bed/wake times train your brain chemistry. Behavior + environment both matter for deep rest. Tools like the butterfly hug, grounding, and progressive muscle relaxation can break nighttime anxiety loops. Nightmares don’t mean you’re weak—they signal a brain skill you can redirect toward healing. Action Step: Pick one item from the behavior checklist (e.g., set a consistent bedtime, fill out the Unbreakable Planner, or eliminate screens before bed) and implement it tonight. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching 00:36 Welcome and Session Overview 01:47 Importance of Sleep for PTSD Recovery 03:36 Benefits of Optimized Sleep 07:35 Behavioral Checklist for Sleep Optimization 20:46 Environmental Checklist for Sleep Optimization 25:13 Common Sleep Problems and Solutions 26:14 Bonus Tip for Better Sleep 26:29 Processing Emotions to Fall Asleep 27:46 Handling Nightmares Effectively 28:31 Practical Tips for a Better Sleep Environment 30:03 Exercise Hacks for Better Sleep 31:35 Managing Inputs Before Bed 32:49 Q&A Session 34:10 Community Sharing and Final Thoughts 51:04 Closing Remarks and Next Steps Next Up: Monday — Creating Your Recovery Hero & Identity (defining the version of you who fully heals).

He explains why being “too emotional” makes you reactive, why being “too logical” causes you to ignore feelings that still control you, and how the real breakthrough comes when you master both. You’ll learn why most people stay stuck in reactive mode (repeating the same response no matter the trigger) and how to shift into adaptive mode—where you slow down, think independently, and create custom responses based on reality instead of the past. Brad also teaches the simple GPS framework (Goal → Problem → Solution) to guide your thinking, plus two daily practices (meditation + journaling) to build awareness. Key Takeaways: Recovery requires both emotional mastery and logical clarity. Too emotional → you react to everything. Too logical → you deny feelings but still get pulled by them. The goal is adaptive thinking: custom responses instead of automatic reactions. Use the GPS framework (Goal → Problem → Solution) whenever you feel stuck. “No” and “I don’t know” are not acceptable answers—there’s always a next step. Awareness tools (meditation/journaling) help separate you from your thoughts. Action Step: When you feel triggered today, pause and take a breath. Remind yourself: “This isn’t life or death.” Then run through GPS: What’s my goal? What’s the problem? What’s one solution I can try right now? Memorable Quote: “Your reality is created by how you interpret it—and that interpretation is always up to you.” Next Up: Tomorrow’s session: Sleep Optimization—how to set up your environment for deep rest, handle nightmares, and calm your mind at night.   ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching 00:44 Emotional vs Logical Thinking 01:47 Balancing Emotions and Logic in Recovery 07:43 Importance of Clear Thinking 12:33 Reactive vs Adaptive Thinking 18:36 Developing Awareness and Independent Thinking 32:42 Q&A Session 33:17 Reflecting on Survivor Stories 34:02 Understanding Trauma Responses 34:27 Balancing Logic and Emotion 38:27 Journaling and Emotional Awareness 40:03 Developing Self-Trust and Problem-Solving 57:02 Setting Goals and Self-Love 59:12 Conclusion and Next Steps

They break down what forgiveness isn’t (it’s not condoning, excusing, or letting someone “off the hook”) and what it really is: an intentional, voluntary act of letting go of the negative emotions that keep you stuck. You’ll hear practical definitions, real-life stories (including Louis Zamperini’s powerful act of forgiveness after WWII), and a step-by-step exercise using visualization to finally set down the “box” of resentment you’ve been carrying. They also cover why forgiveness is ultimately for you, not the other person, and how self-forgiveness and even “forgiving the future” can open the door to peace and healing. Key Takeaways: Forgiveness is not condoning, forgetting, or reconciliation. True forgiveness is intentional, voluntary, and about letting go. Holding onto anger only hurts you—not the other person. Visualization exercises (like the “box” method) make letting go tangible. Progress > perfection: forgiveness can be a process, not a one-time act. Action Step: Try the box exercise today: visualize placing your resentment into a box, setting it down, and walking away—while saying out loud why you’re choosing to forgive. Memorable Quote: “If you hate somebody, it’s like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back to hit you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts.” Next Up: Tomorrow, Brad leads a special coaching session on independent thinking and processing chaos. Friday, don’t miss the deep dive into sleep struggles and nightmares. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching 00:36 Welcome and Introductions 01:47 Overview of PTSD Recovery Pillars 02:43 Deep Dive into Forgiveness 03:08 Defining Forgiveness 04:54 The Importance of Forgiveness 21:45 Visualization Exercise for Forgiveness 29:44 Emotional Release and Growth 30:49 Understanding Grief and Ego in Forgiveness 31:44 Forgiveness Exercises and Future Planning 33:03 Q&A Session Begins 33:11 Sharing Personal Experiences and Insights 37:50 Tips for Emotional Processing 45:11 Safe Space and Mind Palace Visualization 50:43 Focusing on Progress and Setting Goals 52:56 Upcoming Topics and Final Thoughts

Today, Kayleen shows how to cement that mindset with an evening routine so your brain (and life) stop running on chance. You’ll learn why a set bedtime regulates brain chemistry, how tiny nightly steps compound into big change, and how the Unbreakable Planner locks in consistency. The goal: design nights that set you up for success tomorrow—on your terms. Key Takeaways A great tomorrow starts tonight: evenings are the keystone, mornings are the follow-through. Set, consistent bedtime → stabilizes sleep/wake chemicals and improves processing capacity. Include one relaxation/recovery tool at night (breathing, journaling, grounding, etc.). The Unbreakable Planner (filled out at night) boosts clarity, momentum, and follow-through. Progress > perfection. Miss a day? Give yourself grace and get back on track. Do This Tonight (Action Steps) Choose a set lights-out time and protect it (weekends too). Add one wind-down tool (5–10 min). Fill out the Unbreakable Planner: 3 gratitudes Tomorrow’s to-do list 3 things that would make tomorrow great End-of-day review: 3 wins + 1 small improvement Optional: set a 7:30 PM “wind-down” alarm to start closing loops.

You’ll learn how repeated choices carve “neural pathways,” why early mindset work feels like “manual labor,” and how five daily gratitudes weaken the old route while strengthening a new, healthier default. They share personal stories, address “toxic positivity” concerns, and give you a concrete daily plan that compounds over time. Stick with it and you’ll hit the tipping point where positivity becomes your path of least resistance. Key Takeaways Gratitude is the easiest entry point to mindset work—easy to do, easy not to do; consistency wins. Repetition builds positive neural pathways and weakens negative ones. Expect it to feel unnatural at first—that discomfort means you’re changing. Use topic-specific gratitudes (self, family, work, health) when you’re stuck. Catch the decision point; if you slip, choose again. Progress > perfection. Do This Today (Action Steps) Do 5 gratitudes (morning or night). Add a brief “why” to each (“I’m grateful for sleep because…”). When negativity hits, list 3–5 gratitudes about that exact situation. Bonus: share one gratitude with someone to reinforce the habit. Memorable Lines “What’s easy to do is easy not to do.” “Your life happens in the little moments—each one is a decision point.” “You’re not ignoring pain; you’re choosing focus so you can heal.” Episode Guide Welcome & series intro → why daily coaching Mindset = foundation → “manual labor” in the brain Neural pathways → the two paths in the woods How to practice gratitude (what/when/how deep) Handling ‘toxic positivity’ The decision point → catch and switch Progress over perfection → stop the beat-yourself-up loop Today’s action plan → 5-gratitudes challenge What’s next this week: Routines (Tue), Processing (Wed), Special Topic (Thu), Tools (Fri) Next Up Tomorrow: Routines & Consistency—systems that make your mindset work stick.

From moving out of dependence to owning your recovery, to befriending pain and playing bigger—this episode is a practical blueprint to get back in control. Key takeaways (the 10 shifts): Dependence → Independence: stop outsourcing healing; take the wheel. Blame → Responsibility: no more excuses; own your outcomes. “No Control” → Self-Control: you can influence thoughts, emotions, choices. Stuck Loops → Choose a New Path: if the old path fails, change paths—today. Avoid Pain → Befriend Pain: pain is a signal and a teacher. Self-Deception → Radical Honesty: feel and say what’s true, so it can release. Self-Hatred → Self-Love: compassion unlocks closed parts of you. Suppressing → Releasing Emotions: learn the skill of safe, full expression. Short-Term Hits → Long-Term Focus: consistency beats quick fixes. Playing Small → Playing Big: massive action creates outsized results.

What does it really take to heal from PTSD? In this episode, I sit down with Cayla to break down her healing journey in raw detail. Over the past 8 months, Kayla processed: ✅ 12 major traumas ✅ 57 limiting beliefs ✅ 270.5 hours of deep processing work That’s an average of just 3 weeks to fully heal each trauma, and about 4 hours 45 minutes to shift each core belief. But behind the numbers is a much bigger story: How Cayla went from feeling like “a ball of chaos” to experiencing true inner harmony. The exact step-by-step processes she used to stay consistent and actually heal. What it feels like when a trigger that once controlled your life suddenly becomes a non-issue. Why doubt never fully goes away—and how she turned that doubt into fuel for growth. The role of parts work, emotional safety, and detachment in creating lasting peace. If you’ve ever wondered what consistent trauma healing looks like in practice, this episode gives you the inside look. 📌 Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been on the journey for years, Kayla’s story proves one thing: healing is possible—and it’s worth every hour you put in. 🔗 Resources & Links: https://www.overcomingptsd.com/ – Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-overcoming-ptsd-podcast/id1444342036 – Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4rQm0kZjQukx9nKAd2KcQH?si=8e9SjnuIQdG45Skmzn48Iw – RSS: https://feed.podbean.com/overcomingptsd/feed.xml   FOLLOW & CONNECT: – YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OvercomingPTSD?sub_confirmation=1
