The Crappy Childhood Fairy: Anna Runkle on CPTSD

Sep 1, 2023

By the time she was in her 20s, Anna Runkle was struggling with anxiety, depression, and chronic pain that seemed to have no cause. Therapist after therapist failed to diagnose what she was experiencing - until one day in 1994, everything clicked for her. Now, she teaches her innovative therapeutic techniques to others. She is known as the Crappy Childhood Fairy, and her techniques have helped thousands heal from childhood trauma. But coach and YouTube sensation Runkle is quick to point out that she is not a doctor or therapist - instead, she is someone who lived out a traumatic childhood and spent years discovering how to heal from Childhood PTSD. This week on Watching America, she talks with Dr. Alan Campbell about the symptoms of early trauma and strategies to find healing. https://crappychildhoodfairy.com
