This week’s episode features Anna Runkle, also known as The Crappy Childhood Fairy. It is full of information about Complex PTSD (also known as C-PSTD) and the techniques you can use to calm your symptoms. Learn these techniques so that you can heal, have meaningful relationships and BE successful by BE-ing yourself.

Complex PTSD is the result of repeatedly experiencing traumatic events, such as violence, neglect, or abuse. Childhood PTSD (the largest subset of C-PSTD) is often more severe because it occurs during the formative years of childhood.

Healing from Complex PTSD or childhood trauma is a process but feeling better does not have to wait! In this episode we discuss the tools and strategies that Anna learned and began teaching her followers, subscribers, and clients.

If you or someone you know has complex PTSD, you know how difficult it can be to cope when you get triggered. In this episode, Anna Runkle and I discuss the techniques that she uses to reregulate, by unpacking the thoughts that often spin out of control.

My healing was not the result of one big AH-HA moment. It is a journey that is often painful and difficult. When I look back, I can't believe I have made it this far. However, I couldn't have done it without support. To find that support I began with forming healthy relationships (something that I am still working on).

We also discuss the difficulties that people with PTSD often have with interpersonal relationships, the importance of feeling connected, and the techniques that will assist you in forming meaningful relationships.

Healing is not just about feeling better. It is about feeling better so that you can find your gifts and your purpose. Anna and I found our healing in the form of helping others through sharing our stories and facilitating their healing journey with information and tools for success.

You deserve to heal. You deserve to make your dreams come true.

Join us to learn tools and strategies to start feeling better today!
