Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I continue my engaging conversation with Anna Runkle, also known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy. We're delving into the essential topic of emotional dysregulation—a common challenge for many, especially those who have experienced trauma or anxiety. I emphasize that it's normal to encounter dysregulation, but for individuals with a traumatic background, it can be more frequent and intense, often making it feel insurmountable. We discuss practical signs of dysregulation that listeners might recognize in themselves, such as feeling disconnected from their environment, losing track of time, or experiencing an inability to make sound judgment.

As we navigate through these concepts, Anna shares her experiences and insights on identifying dysregulation. She articulates how feelings of frustration manifest in everyday situations, like tripping over things or struggling with routine tasks, emphasizing that these occurrences can stem from deeper emotional turmoil. Through her personal anecdotes, I highlight the crucial distinction between healthy emotional responses and those that lead to self-sabotage, cautioning listeners to avoid making life-altering decisions when in a dysregulated state.

We also explore collective healing practices, such as movement and group activities, that can serve as forms of re-regulation. Anna discusses how these practices, whether through something as structured as military drills or as playful as community dancing, can help restore a sense of calm and connection among individuals. She emphasizes that nature also plays a vital role, and simple habits like taking walks or gardening can significantly aid in grounding oneself and rebuilding that much-needed attunement to our surroundings.
