Re-Regulated: Set Your Life Free from Childhood PTSD and the Trauma-Driven Behaviors That Keep You Stuck | Anna Runkle
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Introducing a radical healing approach for the adult symptoms of Childhood PTSDfrom 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 symptomsneurological 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.

Heigh ho, here we go for another turn around the relief-grief-rage cycle! Turns out there's a significant overlap between cPTSD and the autism spectrum (not surprised). This is a reassuring and potentially empowering book, in that the approach comprises things you can do for yourself, without requiring professional support. I've tweaked my journalling/meditation practice to include her methods. So far so good but it's early days yet.

quietlycuriouskate It's a personal thing but I don't like the term "re-regulated". Sounds too much like toe-ing someone else's line: regulations are imposed from outside. I prefer "recalibrated" which feels more like tuning my system to its own optimal settings. 1w
TheBookHippie OMG if one more person tells me talk therapy … or meds… just NO. I like recalibrated. It sounds way better. 1w

TheBookHippie @quietlycuriouskate generally it‘s because they read my medical chart. Has nothing to do with me or what I‘m even at the doctor for. 1w
Kerrbearlib @quietlycuriouskate I love that - recalibrated! 2d
Kerrbearlib I have ADHD & cPTSD. There are lot of overlaps between them too. I recently started Anna‘s daily journaling practice & have noticed improvements in my life. I‘m less anxious and don‘t get upset as easily. My house is neater too, which for me is a huge deal. I‘m looking forward to reading her book. 2d
quietlycuriouskate @Kerrbearlib That's great that the journalling practice is working for you. I notice that acknowledging the fear underlying my other emotional responses leads to my feeling less at the mercy of "stuff": it seems counter-intuitive in that way. 1d
