Host: Brad Schipke • Overcoming PTSD Podcast • Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching
In this Recovery Secrets Daily Coaching session, Brad walks you through step 3 and step 4 of the bilateral processing bootcamp: installation and closing/recap. After several days of laying the foundation, this episode shows you how to move from simply lowering distress to actually installing new, empowering beliefs after trauma.
You’ll learn how to choose a specific future situation where you would normally get triggered and rehearse it with a new belief like “I am worthy” instead of “I am worthless.” Brad explains how to track both distress level and believability, and why you want the old belief at a 0 and the new belief at a 10 over time.
You’ll also hear practical guidance on different ways to do bilateral stimulation—visual, auditory, and physical—along with how to safely close a session using diaphragmatic breathing, safe space, and quick written reflections. The focus is on imperfect action, consistency, and building a real healing routine you can start using this weekend.
Finally, Brad normalizes feeling tired or overwhelmed after sessions and reframes it as part of your brain’s healing work. You’ll leave with a full, start-to-finish map for running your own bilateral processing sessions and making steady, predictable progress in your PTSD recovery.
