Lessons From The Crappy Childhood Fairy with Anna Runkle

Did you have a crappy childhood? No, not just that you didn’t get that doll you wanted at the store when you were 5-I’m talking serious stuff.
Anna Runkle is the Crappy Childhood Fairy; she shares her story of childhood trauma coming from a commune style home filled with alcohol and hard drugs.
She outlines what exactly defines childhood trauma; physical and sexuable abuse, children of addiction, major neglect or abandonment, lack of personhood-and it is important to note that these things are not always a result of parenting and economic status.
Anna hit a trauma storm in her 30s, culminating in a plan to end her life she shared with a friend, and then she had a total awakening. Anna credits this to her daily writing practice.
Yes. Daily writing and restful meditation healed Anna and saved her life. Now, it's clear that it's not a magic wand, and its not just spilling your guts on everything that makes you sad; there is a very specific technique, but for her, when its done consistently, 80% of her problems evaporate.
Dysregulation is a powerful symptom of CPTSD, causing loss of temper and difficulty discerning positive decisions.
