In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Runkle. With nearly a million followers across her platforms, Anna shares practical tools for overcoming Childhood PTSD and breaking free from self-defeating behaviors. Her book, “Re-Regulated”, explores how to set yourself free from trauma-driven behaviors and neurological dysregulation.

Here are some of the things you’ll learn in this conversation:

— Why traditional talk therapy can sometimes worsen symptoms for people with early trauma.

— What Childhood PTSD is and why it’s not officially recognized in the DSM.

— How attachment wounds can impact relationships and create patterns of staying in painful relationships.

— The connection between neurological dysregulation and social isolation.

— Anna’s powerful daily practice for re-regulating the nervous system and healing from emotional dysregulation.

And more.
