Today's guest has come hotly requested by many of you and we're so happy to dissect the not-so-happy topic of childhood trauma with her. Anna Runkle, aka the one and only @CrappyChildhoodFairy, is the author of the upcoming book "Re-Regulated" (releases October 1, 2024 - preorder below). She has amassed a whopping 860K+ Youtube subscribers with her content covering how to heal from Complex PTSD—or as she has coined, Childhood PTSD. If you struggle with regulating your emotions, if you get stuck in “looping,” repetitive, negative thoughts, if you struggle with anxiety, depression or overwhelm, or if you always find yourself with unavailable or inappropriate partners, it's highly possible a childhood of neglect or abuse might be to blame. Anna knows the experience well because she lived it herself. Today she breaks down the symptoms of CPTSD as well as her tried and true techniques to regulate your emotions and regain control of your life and your relationships. Listen on to heal!
