Heal for Real

This week I'm joined by the wonderful Anna Runkle, the Crappy Childhood Fairy. She, like me, grew up in a dysfunctional home and now teaches her clients how to recover.  We discuss many common themes of trauma recovery, some personal stories, and Anna shares a little bit about her signature Daily Practice which is a tool to help regulate the brain that is being hijacked by trauma and dysregulation.  Watch Anna on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCZlDCbFTqHkzV_rUP4V5bg/videos  Check out Anna's website here: https://crappychildhoodfairy.com/ Work with me: https://www.shylacash.com/workwithme Email Me: [email protected]

Does acknowledging trauma mean that we are playing a victim?  Is saying that you were traumatized as a child being TOO dramatic?  How can we take personal responsibility for our healing if we are wallowing in victimhood?  In this episode I'm helping you understand that trauma is NOT a dirty word. Everyone experiences trauma in life in some way. I'm helping you understand that acknowledging that you were traumatized does NOT mean you are wallowing. In fact, if we don't acknowledge our trauma, it controls us and makes our lives worse. To move forward, we've got to acknowledge the reality of what happened.

Growing up in dysfunctional families means that we become extremely familiar with pain.  In this podcast, I'm talking about breaking free from traumatic loops when pain is all we know. I cover running from pain, self compassion and more.  Pain does not have to be your normal.

No suffering is insignificant. Suffering and trauma are part of the human experience. But, we don't have to be defined by our suffering.  In this episode i'm talking about how it's not possible to get back to "normal" after the life-altering experience of trauma, but it is possible to transcend normal, integrate the pain, and create personal power and purpose.  Email Me: [email protected] Work With Me: https://www.shylacash.com/workwithme

When we find ourselves approaching healing from a deep sense of unworthiness, we can start to feel like we must know everything about healing and consume all the info we can. But this comes from a deep sense of inadequacy that is subtle but insidious.  In this episode, I'm helping you breathe a sigh of relief. You don't have to do it perfectly and you don't have to know everything to heal from trauma. You are worthy. It's not about the outside-in, but about the inside out.  Work with me: https://www.shylacash.com/workwithme Email: [email protected]

This is the second part in a two part series on intergenerational trauma in response to the current events of 2020 and namely the murder of George Floyd and the world's response to that event.  I want to give my perspective from the lens of trauma and intergenerational trauma.  Work with me: https://www.shylacash.com/workwithme Email me: [email protected] 

This is the first of a two part series on intergenerational trauma. This is a topic that is extremely important right now - although it has always been.  In light of current events (George Floyd's murder) I want to take a couple episodes to explain how oppressive systems work. How they are held up by unacknowledged trauma. And how the family and self systems mirror societal systems.  Work with me: https://www.shylacash.com/workwithme Email me: [email protected]

It's so fun to indulge in fantasies - they are like warm blankets for us. Especially for those of us who used our daydreaming and fantasies to get through abusive and neglectful homes as children. But in adulthood, over indulging in fantasies can steal our life energy and keeping us avoiding a reality that we don't like. 

In this episode I'm sharing some common fantasies of adults who grew up in dysfunctional homes and contrasting them with reality. 

I also share why it's so important to live in reality rather than in a fantasy world.  Email me: [email protected]
