In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I explore a topic that often goes under the radar: the stress that comes with transitioning to a healthy normal.

Understanding the Transition to Healthy Normal: Why it can be challenging and how to recognize this often-overlooked aspect of healing.
Nervous System Adjustment: How our nervous system shifts from a state of hypervigilance to calm, and what that means for our mental and physical well-being.
Recognizing Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms: How these can sneak in and hinder our progress, and what we can do about it.
Embracing the Healthy New Normal: Tips and strategies to help our nervous system adjust and thrive in a healthier state.
I’ll also share some of my personal insights and experiences to provide a deeper understanding of how we can move from chronic stress to a state of calm and safety. This episode is packed with practical advice and encouragement for anyone on the healing journey.
Join me as we explore valuable tools and perspectives on embracing a healthier, more balanced life.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I'm diving into a question that really got me thinking: "What’s the recipe to get started?"

We'll walk through four essential steps to get started:
Awareness: Recognizing what's happening around you and seeing things for what they truly are.
Deciding: Choosing what you want and figuring out what needs to be done to get there.
Taking Action: Putting those decisions into motion to move forward.
Commitment: Staying true to your path every day, even when you hit bumps along the way.
I'll also talk about the power of hope, inspiration, and how positive emotions like joy and love can spread and uplift us. It's about trusting your gut and your heart as you navigate your healing journey.

Hey, everybody, it’s Dr. Deb here with PTSD and Beyond. In this insightful episode, I dive deep into the common advice of "sitting with the pain" and why it’s not entirely accurate. We often hear that we need to embrace our pain, but what does that really mean? Through personal experiences and professional insights, I'll discuss why simply sitting with pain can lead to feeling overwhelmed and re-experiencing trauma.
I’ll introduce you to a more complete approach by asking the crucial question: "What is this pain trying to tell me?" We'll explore the work of Dr. Dan Siegel and his concept of "Name it to Tame it," which helps us better process our emotions. I'll share a recent personal experience where identifying and naming my pain led to clarity and a breakthrough, bringing a sense of freedom and peace.
This episode also includes a special poem I wrote during an emotional moment, highlighting the duality of pain and joy and the importance of embracing both. By understanding the root of our emotions, we can achieve deeper self-awareness and healing.
Join me as I share these techniques for navigating emotional pain, achieving breakthroughs, and ultimately finding strength and calm. Remember, we're better together, we're stronger together, and take what resonates and go beyond.

Feedspots' 20 Best PTSD Podcasts in 2024!
In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I welcome Dr. Roger Miller, a clinical psychologist and neuropsychology team lead at Aviv Clinics. Dr. Miller has over 30 years of experience treating patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries. We delve into the groundbreaking field of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), exploring how this innovative treatment is offering new hope for veterans and others suffering from treatment-resistant PTSD.
Dr. Miller explains the science behind HBOT, which involves using a pressurized environment to increase oxygen concentration levels in the body, promoting healing and the growth of new blood vessels. This therapy has traditionally been used for wound care but is now being applied to treat brain injuries and PTSD by repairing damaged brain tissue and improving brain function.
Our conversation covers the comprehensive approach taken at Aviv Clinics, which includes neurological, physiological, and psychological assessments and treatments. Dr. Miller shares inspiring success stories of individuals who have experienced life-transforming improvements, from reduced PTSD symptoms to enhanced relationships and overall quality of life.
For anyone interested in innovative treatments for PTSD, this episode provides valuable insights and hope. Discover how Aviv Clinics is pioneering new methods to restore the quality of life for those affected by PTSD.
