Instead of randomly picking things to work on, you’ll learn how to identify the root memory and belief that are really driving your PTSD symptoms.You’ll hear how to use a “memory scan” (based on Francine Shapiro’s float-back technique) to trace current triggers, panic, flashbacks, or nightmares back to the earliest or most distressing experience. Brad explains the “domino” effect of unprocessed memories and why you only need to knock over the right one to get lasting relief.Kayleen also shows you how to pair each core memory with the negative belief it created (like “I’m unlovable” or “I’m not safe”) and then choose an opposite positive belief to grow into. You’ll finish this episode with a simple, structured action step you can do in 15–20 minutes to prepare for deep healing—not coping, but truly changing your brain.This is bootcamp week, so the focus is on action. By the end, you’ll have your first “target” memory, belief, distress rating, and new belief picked out so you’re ready to step into the actual bilateral processing in the next session. 💡 What You’ll LearnHow to know when bilateral processing is the right tool for your PTSD symptomsHow to use distressing emotions, triggers, thoughts, or beliefs as “trailheads” to the root traumaHow to do a simple memory scan to find the earliest or most distressing trauma memoryWhy one unprocessed “broken bone” memory keeps getting re-triggered in everyday lifeHow trauma creates a line of “domino” memories and how to find the biggest one to work onHow to match a distressing memory with the specific negative belief it created about you or the worldHow to use a negative–positive belief list to clarify what you really believe and what you want to believe insteadHow to rate your distress (0–10) and belief strength (0–10) so you can track progress as you processHow to take imperfect action and build the skill of identifying what actually needs to be healed 🧠 Key TakeawayThe goal isn’t to process everything—it's to find and heal the root memory and belief driving your PTSD, so all the other “domino” triggers can finally fall. 🔗 Next StepsSubscribe for new weekday episodes from the Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching archive.To go deeper or work with Brad directly, visit: https://www.skool.com/brokentounbreakable CHAPTERS:31:
