Brad Schipke is a mentor and coach trained in PTSD recovery coaching, sharing personal experience and a self-directed educational method to help others devise and implement their own positive, sustainable changes. Brad Schipke is not a doctor, licensed psychologist, licensed therapist, psychiatrist, or other licensed or registered healthcare professional, and nothing in our content, programs, calls, community, or communications is meant to take the place of advice from those professionals, or to create a clinical, medical, or therapeutic relationship.
Always seek the advice of a qualified, licensed healthcare or mental-health provider with any questions regarding a medical or psychological condition, including PTSD, CPTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, or addiction. Never disregard, avoid, or delay seeking professional advice, and never discontinue treatment, because of something you read, saw, or heard through our content or programs.
Do not start, stop, change, or adjust any prescribed medication without first consulting your prescribing physician. Any references on this site to individuals reducing or discontinuing medication describe their own personal experiences, undertaken with the guidance and supervision of their own doctors. Decisions about medication are strictly between you and your licensed medical provider.
The testimonials, stories, examples, statistics, and results shared on this site reflect individual experiences and are not typical, promised, or guaranteed. Recovery from PTSD, CPTSD, or trauma varies significantly from person to person and depends on many factors outside our control, including your individual history, circumstances, effort, consistency, health, support system, and the nature and severity of your experiences.
We make no representation, promise, or guarantee that you will achieve any particular result, that you will "fully recover," heal at any particular speed, reduce symptoms, or experience any specific outcome. Any timeframes, figures, or distress-reduction numbers referenced are illustrative of past participants and are not a forecast of your results. No representation has been made and may be relied upon as to any future outcome you may experience from participating in this program. You accept that your results are your own responsibility and that you assume all risk in applying any information, tools, or strategies we provide.
Testimonials on this site were received via text, email, video submission, social media, or other voluntary means. They represent the genuine experiences of the individuals who gave them, are individual experiences that may not be typical, and are not a guarantee that you or anyone else will achieve the same or similar results. Some testimonials may be lightly edited for length or clarity without changing their meaning, and names may be shortened or changed to protect privacy.
