30 Myths of PTSD and the Healing Truths That Break Them
In this special episode for PTSD Awareness Day, we’re cutting through the noise and going beyond the surface.
Too often, the conversation around PTSD focuses on symptoms, diagnoses, or one-size-fits-all solutions. But healing is human—and so are the myths we carry about what PTSD is supposed to look like.
Today, Dr. Deb shares 30 powerful myths and the healing truths that gently dismantle them.
You’ll hear truths like: 💬 “You don’t have to forgive to heal.” 💬 “High-functioning doesn’t mean fine.” 💬 “You can heal without reliving the trauma.” 💬 “Healing is not linear, and you are not behind.”
Whether you’re on your own journey or holding space for someone else, this episode will validate, empower, and remind you: ✨ You are not broken. ✨ You are not alone. ✨ Healing is real—and it starts with truth.
