Starting Strong or Stalled. Either Way, Give Yourself G.R.A.C.E.
Jan 03, 2026

As a new year begins, there is often an unspoken pressure to feel motivated, clear, and already moving forward. But not everyone starts the year feeling strong. Some start stalled. Some start somewhere in between.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, we explore why either way is okay and why what matters most is practicing the space of G.R.A.C.E.

Grace is not a process.
Grace is a practice.

When we feel stalled, old patterns often rush in. Shame. Stigma. Rumination. Past criticisms. Stories that were never ours...

Ending the Year 2025 Well
Dec 31, 2025

As 2025 comes to a close, this episode of PTSD and Beyond offers a slower, more intentional way to pause.

December 31 is often treated like a countdown or a party night.
But it is also a bridge.

A bridge between who we were, who we lived as this year, and who we are becoming next.

In this Self Care Sunday episode, Dr. Deb shares a trauma-informed reflection practice that supports the nervous system through transition. Rather than rushing into goals or avoiding the moment, this episode focuses on reflection, closure, and care as...

The Body Leads: A Somatic Breakthrough in Trauma Healing
Dec 13, 2025

In today’s episode Dr. Deb shares a rare and deeply personal moment in trauma healing. A moment that did not begin with a thought or an insight, but with a simple sensation in the body that arrived without fear, without story, and without the usual pull of survival mode.

This episode explores what happens when the nervous system shifts into safety after years of vigilance. Listeners will hear how lightness, breath, softening, and clarity can emerge before the mind recognizes what is changing and how these somatic signals mark real progress in trauma recovery.

Be the Good: A Season of Humanity, Healing, and Hope
Nov 21, 2025

In this extended PTSDandBeyond podcast episode, Dr. Deb explores what it truly means to be the good in a world that feels overwhelming, stressful, and emotionally heavy for many people during this season. This is more than kindness. This is humanity in action. This is care. This is compassion with depth and intention.   Together we unpack how the holidays activate our nervous systems, old memories, grief, pressures, and expectations. Dr. Deb shares global stories of people choosing goodness in ways that transform moments and remind us that humanity still exists. We talk about supporting someone who is hurting, supporting ourselves w...

What's Next: Part 3 of 3
Nov 04, 2025

In this final episode of the three-part series, we explore how healing moves from reflection into action. “What’s Next” is about reclaiming agency, aligning choices with values, and noticing the quiet signs of growth that often begin within the body and the nervous system.

If you’ve ever felt almost ready to take the next step but weren’t sure where to start, this episode helps you recognize readiness, identify what supports you, and take meaningful steps forward at your own pace.

This episode of PTSD and Beyond® is about the Now What moment, that quiet and profound turning point when we begin to move from explaining the past to imagining what our life can look like now.

We’ll talk about recognizing readiness, reconnecting with values, and gently shifting from reflection into engagement with the present. You’ll hear insights from trauma recovery research, neuroscience, and positive psychology, and be gu...

Part 1: From Why to Understanding
Oct 10, 2025

Welcome to a new three-part series on PTSD and Beyond: “From Why to Now What to What’s Next.”

“Understanding is not the destination, it’s the foundation. We honor the questions that brought us here, and we release the ones that keep us circling," ~ Dr. Deb Lindh, EdD

In this opening episode, From Why to Understanding, Dr. Deb invites listeners to explore the powerful and sometimes paralyzing question of “why.” Why did it happen? Why me? Why do I still feel this way?

The “why” is where healing often begins. It’s our mind and body’s...

Healing with Grit under the First Supermoon in Aries (2025)

“Healing isn’t something we watch happen from the sidelines.
It’s an act of grit, devotion, and courageous participation in our own wellbeing,” Dr. Deb Lindh

This first supermoon of 2025 rises in bold, fiery Aries and it brings more than a beautiful night sky.


It’s an invitation to look at our healing with fresh courage.

In this special full-moon episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb guides us through an inspiring conversation about how healing isn’t passive or casual...it’s an act of grit, action, and fierce self-devotion.

Security and Growth: Honoring Both Needs in Healing
Sep 29, 2025

As we wrap up September and prepare to move from our last series, “Things We Don’t Often Say Out Loud,” to our new series, “From Why to Now What to What’s Next,” Dr. Deb invites listeners to pause at the threshold between past and future.

In this episode, we explore the guiding question:

“How can we honor both the need for security and the need for growth?”

Too often we believe we have to choose — to stay safe or to push forward — but healing asks us to carry both. Security isn’t a cage; it’s the gro...

We’ll unpack:

The difference between survival and truly living

Why listening to yourself requires ending the habit of numbing

We’ll explore:

Why feeling safe in your own body again is harder than anyone admits

The Story of the Semicolon: A Pause, Not an End
Sep 01, 2025

Every September, the world pauses to recognize Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and World Suicide Prevention Day. Awareness matters, but awareness alone is not enough.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb shares the story behind the semicolon — a symbol of survival, continuation, and hope. From its beginnings with Amy Bleuel and Project Semicolon to its spread as a global movement, the semicolon reminds us: your story isn’t over.

Dr. Deb explores:

Not Toxic Positivity: The Healing Power of Seedthoughts
Aug 28, 2025

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb explores the concept of seedthoughts, the small but powerful phrases we carry inside us that shape our health, our healing, and our growth.

The term “seedthoughts” was coined by Barbara Hoberman Levine in her book Your Body Believes Every Word You Say. Levine discovered that the body can interpret everyday language literally, allowing phrases like “this job is killing me” to plant stress, pain, and even illness.

Brian Tracy, with whom Dr. Deb co-authored The Success Blueprint, shared a parallel approach. He taught that affirmations and intentio...

You Were Never Meant to Be Small

Some people will feel uncomfortable with your healing. Your breakthroughs, your successes, your post-trauma growth — they will stir envy, unease, and even jealousy in those who have not yet faced their own shadows.

And sometimes, they will try to dim your light so they can feel safer in their own.

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, I’m here to remind you of a truth you may have forgotten — you were never meant to play small. You are not meant to be small. You are meant to be a light in the darkness.

Why the Right Decision Can Still Feel Wrong

Have you ever made a decision you knew was the right one… but you couldn’t shake the lingering feelings that made you doubt yourself?

This emotional “lag” is more common than we think. Your logical mind can make a decision in seconds, but your emotional system...the limbic brain... works on a completely different clock. That mismatch can leave you feeling unsettled, second-guessing, or even wondering if you made a mistake, even when you didn’t.

Courage and Courageous Moments

“Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up.” – Glennon Doyle

Courage isn’t loud. It’s not always a leap or a battle cry.
Sometimes—it’s a whisper. A moment. A breath. A choice to try again.

In this episode, we explore what it means to feel courageous—not perform it.
You’ll hear how joy isn’t the reward for perfection or assimilation, but a return to self.
We’ll talk about the neuroscience of safety and bravery, the myths of courage, and how small moments can be t...
