Description
Introducing a radical healing approach for the adult symptoms of Childhood PTSD—from the creator of the Crappy Childhood Fairy program and YouTube channel.
Conventional trauma treatments (talk therapy and medication) simply don’t work for many trauma survivors, and now we know why. Researchers have identified the core symptom that drives most other symptoms—neurological dysregulation. It’s an injury to your nervous system triggered by abuse and neglect in childhood, and it can profoundly impact your physical health, damage your ability to learn and focus, and hold you back from forming caring relationships.
The good news is that healing is possible, and in Re-Regulated, author Anna Runkle (aka the Crappy Childhood Fairy) shows you how. Chapter by chapter, she teaches you practical steps to identify signs of dysregulation, quickly re-regulate, and then stay regulated more of the time. Drawing from her own experience healing Childhood PTSD symptoms, and her decades of work coaching and mentoring thousands of others working to heal from abuse and neglect in the past, Anna helps you calm triggers, break out of isolation, and change the self-defeating behaviors that are so common for traumatized people. From a regulated state, things can move forward rapidly in every area of your life so you can become your full and real self at last.
You’ll learn:
· Practical techniques to release trauma-driven thinking and strengthen focus
· Principles to overcome trauma-driven thinking and behaviors that hold you back
· Strategies to manage overwhelming emotions before they hurt relationships
· A process to build your capacity to connect with other people
· A “Daily Practice” to help you start each day regulated and energized
Anna’s tools can be used on your own or as a complement to professional therapy. With her help, you can achieve calmness and clarity you never imagined possible.
I loved this book. I bought this book because I felt stuck in a swamp of despair. This book gives very practical advice to help get you out of chaos. I highly recommend.
“Re-Regulated” including the Daily Practice which turned out to be the missing puzzle piece to use in combination with meditation that had been helpful, previously, but kind of plateaued for me. January, 2024, Anna’s video appeared on my Youtube stream, serendipitously, and that is one of my favorite ways to discover new things! It took me a few videos before the “penny dropped”… then I realized this ‘is really speaking to me’… it’s what I’ve been dealing with most of my life… on my own more so than not.
Now, I had names and words (dysregulated or crap fit, to name a few), to attach to my symptoms! It’s her down to earth story that has certain elements that are so relatable to what I experienced, which makes it easier to apply to my own life to improve. The book is a wonderful extension of her videos and her website! It’s something tangible that I can pick up at any time and work through all of the activities to help me continue improving! The cover feels very soothing to the touch, as well. I, also, appreciate that the book is for those of us who are more spiritual or not.
My son was so interested in the subject matter that he bought the audio version, as well. I thought this was really cool! I’m hoping it will lead to more discussion in the future. I’m so happy it found me!
I’m in my mid 30s, suffer from anxiety, and a host of other symptoms that I now understand are, indeed, a result of CPTSD and developmental attachment trauma. I feel like Anna introduced me to myself for the first time and then explained me to me. I’ve worked with therapists that have helped me in my healing journey, but I’ve never had such good results as I have after starting the Daily Practice. I legit told my therapist today about this book and said I was worried the night and day difference in my life was too good to be true! She congratulated me on finding a source of help that I can use more often than our monthly visits.
I’ve told my husband, my coworkers, and my friends about this book. Read read read this book if any part of Anna’s story resonates with you. I first watched her on YouTube and thought, wow, that sounds like me. But reading this book has 100% changed my outlook on my past, present, and future, my insights into me, but also everyone else around me. Anna says it early in the book, but I definitely see dsyregulation all
around me now and feel equipped to deal with it!
Thank you Anna for sharing. I feel free.
Anna is amazing! Her book is full of information I have never read or heard before and it all makes so much sense now!
You will be happy you bought this book!
Ms.Runkle walks her talk. She is open and transparent in her own healing journey, and inspires the reader to tackle their own path to a better, more regulated life.
