Here's What People Are Saying:

"I'm blown away."

"I’m 3/4 of the way through the Healing Childhood PTSD and I’m blown away with how good this is. I’ve tried so many other things before, and I kind of got to the point of thinking, “Well it’s just me... I’m broken." Now I understand why I feel like this, and I have practical steps to get my life back on track. Anna Runkle I think you are an amazing person for sharing what you discovered on your own journey."

"From the bottom of my heart... thank you."

"Thank you Anna for your dedication to helping people. I know we all come from different walks of life and we all have our own versions of sh**y childhoods but for me personally your course has been that light bulb going off, like Aha!! That’s it!! Someone is finally saying something that registers and that I can relate to. No matter how many therapists I went to, none of them ever got to the core of the trauma. Just talking never worked for me. Your course is the first thing I have found that I can relate to and have faith that the proper healing can occur with the right tools and information. From the bottom of my defrosting heart, thank you."

"I have never found something that resonated so deeply"

"I have never found something that resonated so deeply and perfectly with my inner experience before, and I have made a life of seeking and healing. Your work is a breath of fresh air, a cool drink of water, and an empowering reality check. Watching your videos feels like a friendly slap upside the head with a plate of milk and cookies. Thank you!'

"You have given me the most effective tools that I have ever encountered"

"I just have this very great need to thank you. You have given me the most effective tools that I have ever encountered (and I've been searching a very long time), providing me control over my dysregulation and self-regulation. It feels like you've provided me a key to a cage door that I can now open, allowing me to fly free, whenever and wherever I want to go. Thank you so much. For the first time someone makes sense to me. Now maybe I can feel better all the time. I can see light. Thank you."

"I LOVE your work!

"I LOVE your work! It's helped me turn my attention to healing myself instead of focusing on understanding the toxic people. Thank you!!!
