These common symptoms may indicate that past trauma has affected your ability to connect.

• When you are in a group, do you struggle to feel that you are part of it?
• Do you find yourself avoiding social engagements, simply because it's triggering to be around other people?
• Are you haunted by a fear that you will end up alone in life?

Warm and caring relationships become possible when you heal trauma-driven patterns 

• I teach you the real reason that social interactions can be  overwhelming for people who grew up with trauma (it's not your personality).

• My lessons are focused on calming trauma-driven reactions, ending dysfunctional relationships and setting healthy boundaries, one small change at a time.

• My approach equips you to choose people who bring fun, ease and trust into your life, allowing you to enjoy meaning and closeness with others at last. 

"The fear of abandonment had been ruling my life prior to taking this course. The Connection Bootcamp taught me the importance of connecting with other people and showed me all the ways I abandoned other people and also myself a lot. I could not see this before. Now I see my own role in things and can take responsibility for my actions and have tools to effectively combat my fear of abandonment and neediness for connection. Thank you so much for putting together this amazing course!"

"I didn't really think I needed this course until about the 3rd video. Then my jaw dropped. You were talking about me! I am connecting a lot now and see myself and others in a whole new light. It's amazing. Thank you so very much."

"Connection Bootcamp was a game changer for me. This is a perfect complement to the other courses offered by Anna Runkle. This isn't deep philosophy but real-world lessons about dealing with CPTSD. From this course I have techniques that I can use today, now, to deal with issues that have been plaguing me my entire life. Anna is a gifted instructor and virtual mentor. I highly recommend this course. For me it was worth the price of the annual membership. Thank you Anna!."

"The information you provide is what I've been searching for over many years. I've always felt I lacked an understanding of social relationships, such as what is "normal" and appropriate when interacting. You're laying out precious gems!".

"Connection Bootcamp... showed me how I have sabotaged myself through fear. Such amazing progress I'm making now and I'm going to continue. Thank you for going through your journey so you can share it with us. Much Love."

“At first I had a lot of resistance to this class and found myself NOT wanting to connect with others. But I realized this is my safe, comfortable place, and as much as I resisted, I still found connecting getting easier. I found myself reaching out so much more. Our last exercise with the audio meditation about all the people who have helped us in our lives really hit hard. I was moved and grateful to realize how many loving and kind people I have had come my way over the years. This really opened my heart and left me feeling lucky and loved. Thank you”

"You have no idea how much you inspire me to heal. I have felt so alone and so hopeless for so long. I can’t wait to be absent from this fear, and I’m just so happy to be learning that it’s possible. You and the others educating people are the true heroes."

"I feel deeply moved and touched. I feel for the first time utterly understood and known. You are my very good and dear friend, Anna. Your advice is priceless and I know that you are so right! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

“I thought this course would be like all the other courses I purchased in the past (boring) yet the material and the way it’s taught quickly changed my perceptions about my life. I finally found the root causes of my pain, suffering, and behaviors ( CPTSD) and it instantly set me free. I now have answers to so many of my questions. A great course for anyone searching for answers for a better life.”

"I was diagnosed with PTSD ten years ago. I’m 23 next month. I feel so relieved to know I’m not alone. I’ve let my trauma swallow me completely, isolating myself because I’m scared of any social interaction. Thank you for helping us heal."
