Erase PTSD Now: The Podcast

Target to Zero: Clearing out PTSD in minutes, not years, with Scarlett Williams

PTSD can feel never ending, and its symptoms can cause so much stress and harm in our lives– insomnia, hypervigilance, difficulty with loved ones, and more. Holding onto the poignant details of trauma is how our brains keep us trapped, and often we don’t know which way to turn.  With 25 years of clinical experience, Scarlett Williams has brought together neuroscience and mental health to create the Target 2 Zero Rapid Trauma Recovery Protocol. With multiple research-backed studies underway, Scarlett has treated 1,000 individuals with her method and seen incredible results at a fraction of the time.  If you’re worried that PTSD will last forever, or like the traditional methods of care aren’t working anymore, this episode is for you. Scarlett and Coleen will cover topics like family dynamics, real world stories, healing from trauma, and how her Target 2 Zero Protocol has the potential to end PTSD symptoms for many people around the world. Listen in for a fascinating conversation.  Get In Touch: * www.eraseptsdnow.org [http://www.eraseptsdnow.org] * podcast@eraseptsdnow.org Connect On Social Media: * Instagram: @_eraseptsdnow [https://www.instagram.com/_eraseptsdnow/] * Facebook: Erase PTSD Now [https://www.facebook.com/eraseptsdnow] * YouTube: @eraseptsdnow [https://www.youtube.com/@eraseptsdnow/videos] * LinkedIn: @eraseptsdnow [https://www.linkedin.com/company/eraseptsdnow] Connect With Scarlett: * Website: target2zero.com [http://target2zero.com]  * YouTube: www.youtube.com/@target2zerowithscarlettwil584 [http://www.youtube.com/@target2zerowithscarlettwil584]  #PTSD #ErasePTSDNow @eraseptsdnow #StellateGanglionBlock #TraumaRecovery #RapidTraumaRelief #VeteranMentalHealth #FirstResponderSupport #ACEscore #Hypervigilance #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaPrevention #MentalHealthInnovation #EndTheStigma #StressRecovery #PeerSupport

Stop Whining and Start Winning: Moving from Complacency to Freedom with Timothy “TK” Klund

“God doesn’t create mediocre people.” PTSD can leave you feeling stuck in cycles that you never asked for. Even when things look great on the outside, you can’t externally fix an internal trauma.  Timothy “TK” Klund has seen it all, from serving in the Air Force to building success afterwards; he knows what it means to rebuild with discipline, gratitude, and authenticity. He knows that starting over is not weakness, and that failure is not the enemy.  Trauma can make you feel like you have to hold on to control at all costs. In this episode, TK relives his experience as a veteran, creating his branding business, leaving jobs that were no longer fueling his passion, and even giving back as a philanthropist.  If you’re wondering how to rebuild and redefine your life after trauma, you’re not alone. This episode is for the burnt-out, the dissatisfied, and those looking to grow with discipline and intentionality. Stay tuned for inspiration and insight.  Get In Touch: * www.eraseptsdnow.org [http://www.eraseptsdnow.org] * podcast@eraseptsdnow.org Connect On Social Media: * Instagram: @_eraseptsdnow [https://www.instagram.com/_eraseptsdnow/] * Facebook: Erase PTSD Now [https://www.facebook.com/eraseptsdnow] * YouTube: @eraseptsdnow [https://www.youtube.com/@eraseptsdnow/videos] * LinkedIn: @eraseptsdnow [https://www.linkedin.com/company/eraseptsdnow] Connect With TK: * Social Media: @klund09  #PersonalGrowth #HighPerformance #Resilience #EntrepreneurMindset #MidlifeReinvention #VeteranEntrepreneur #DisciplineEqualsFreedom #MentalToughness #StopWhiningStartWinning #SelfWorth #IdentityShift #HealthOptimization #PurposeDrivenLife #PTSD #ErasePTSDNow @eraseptsdnow #StellateGanglionBlock

Coming out of the refrigerator: how TMS therapy can transform autism and trauma responses with Kelley Jensen

“Think of it as brain care– taking care of the brain just like any other part of the body.” Did you know that you can use magnets to change brain activity? When you’re suffering with the effects of trauma, it can feel like your brain is fighting against you. Sometimes the traditional pathways like medication or therapy may not be enough to kickstart new brain habits. In this episode Kelley Jensen introduces us to TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and how she has found transformative healing with this lesser-known tool for mental health.  What started with her son’s autism led her to working with Brain Performance Technologies to raise awareness about this powerful path to healing. From discussions on autistic parenting to learning to give yourself grace, this episode is a well-needed addition to the toolbox of mental health and wellbeing.  If you’re curious about brain care and how it impacts mental health, from depression to anxiety and even OCD, then this episode is for you.  Get In Touch: * www.eraseptsdnow.org [http://www.eraseptsdnow.org] * podcast@eraseptsdnow.org Connect On Social Media: * Instagram: @_eraseptsdnow [https://www.instagram.com/_eraseptsdnow/] * Facebook: Erase PTSD Now [https://www.facebook.com/eraseptsdnow] * YouTube: @eraseptsdnow [https://www.youtube.com/@eraseptsdnow/videos] * LinkedIn: @eraseptsdnow [https://www.linkedin.com/company/eraseptsdnow] Connect With Kelley: * TikTok: @alphabraintechs  * Instagram: @brainperformancetech * Podcast: refrigeratormoms.com [http://refrigeratormoms.com] * Website: brainperformancetechnologies.com [https://brainperformancetechnologies.com/] #PTSD #ErasePTSDNow @eraseptsdnow #StellateGanglionBlock #TMStherapy #BrainHealth #MentalHealthInnovation #VeteranMentalHealth #FirstResponderSupport #TraumaRecovery #Neuroscience #DepressionTreatment #AutismAdvocacy #MentalHealthAwareness

Confronting moral injury: How trauma programs the mind and how to break free with Matthew McDonell

“Accept that no one else has made it through without any trauma. You need to share.” When trauma is all you knew growing up, your brain is programmed into thinking it’s normal. Trauma shapes future relationships, nervous system responses, and your identity; it brings you into survival mode. It doesn’t have to be that way, though, and that’s why today, Coleen LaCosta sits down with Matthew McDonell, veteran, PTSD survivor, and founder of Next 18. Matt tells us what led him to recognize his trauma, shares his story of healing from PTSD, explains how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) shape our adult lives, expands on the concept of moral injury and shame, and shows us what it truly means to confront our trauma.  If you’re living in survival mode, if your sun is pink, this episode is the first step on a journey to understanding, forgiveness, and healing. We’ll hear real stories, honest reflection, and learn about treatments like the SGB and Next 18’s golf retreats; together, we will Erase PTSD.

Trauma hijacks the brain: A veteran’s journey from combat to mental wellness with Omar Ritter

“You are the person that's blocking yourself from being able to receive and accept treatment.” When you suffer from PTSD, your mind gets hijacked; the only way to recover is by reentering the cockpit and taking back control. For veterans and professionals, trauma hides behind achievements, discipline, and apparent strength—the fear of losing all they’d built stopping them from speaking up. But unspoken trauma doesn’t just fade, it disrupts the body and fuels a terrible fire. Omar Ritter went through this himself, and today Coleen LaCosta sits down with him as he shares his story. A West Point graduate, Bronze Star recipient, former Wall Street executive, brain tumor survivor, and author, Omar is familiar with the pressure of profession and the impact it has on mental health. He shares his story from being “hijacked” to healing, how PTSD nearly cost him everything, and what led him to finally ask for help. If you’re in a tough spot, too scared to ask for help but you’re struggling in this fight, this episode is for you. Beyond Omar’s story, we discuss stigma around PTSD, the courage it takes to pursue treatment, and why redefining what strength truly is might be most important.
