Sign up for our newsletter! https://drchristiangonzalez.com/newsletter/ Episode Description: Have you ever noticed that talking about your trauma sometimes makes you feel worse? That's because talking only trims the branches—it doesn't touch the roots. In this week's episode, Dr. Christian Gonzalez sits down with Anna Runkle, creator of the viral movement The Crappy Childhood Fairy, to explore why traditional talk therapy often fails to heal trauma — and what actually does. Anna shares how, after years of therapy that left her feeling worse, she discovered one simple, daily nervous system practice that changed everything. Within two weeks, her PTSD symptoms were gone — and her life was never the same. What We Cover • Hidden signs of trauma most people miss including disorientation, clumsiness, and feeling “off” for no reason • Why talking about trauma can backfire, and how to create space for real emotional processing • Emotional flashbacks explained and how preverbal trauma silently shapes adult choices in love, work, and life • Nervous system regulation techniques that bring rapid relief and help you reconnect to yourself • Anna's expressive writing method that helped her clear PTSD in two weeks • How trauma-driven decisions shape entire lives — from partners to careers — and how to break the cycle • The surprising power of simple movement for emotional regulation • A practical boundary phrase that shuts down conflict without drama • Talking ≠ healing. Over-talking about trauma can keep the nervous system dysregulated. • Regulation first, insight second. Healing begins when the body feels safe. • Old patterns drive new problems. Many adult struggles are rooted in unconscious trauma responses. • Healing can start fast. You don't need years of suffering to feel relief — the right tools can shift things quickly. • Connection is the goal. Regulating your nervous system opens the door to deeper relationships and real belonging. About the Guest Anna Runkle, known online as The Crappy Childhood Fairy, is a bestselling author, trauma educator, and creator of one of the internet's fastest-growing trauma-healing communities. Her approach to recovery focuses on nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and practical, self-guided tools for real-world transformation.

Dr. K breaks down how psychedelics actually work not from hype or hearsay, but through neuroscience, psychiatry, and lived experience. He explains that psychedelics don't “heal” you by themselves; they temporarily put the brain into edit mode, a state of heightened neuroplasticity where your thoughts, emotions, and physiology can be rewritten for better or worse. Through a detailed look at serotonin receptors, brain connectivity, and decades of clinical research, Dr. K shows how substances like psilocybin, LSD, DMT, ayahuasca, and MDMA can rewire the brain and why they can just as easily cause harm if used without structure, safety, or integration. The episode also explores why guided psychedelic therapy — in a clinical or spiritual context — can lead to long-term healing, while unsupervised trips can lock trauma in even deeper. Dr. K ties it all together by connecting ego death to meditation and Vedic philosophy, revealing how both psychedelics and deep meditative practice dissolve the sense of self — and why that dissolution is often the real mechanism of healing. Topics include: The serotonin 2A receptor and why psychedelics increase neuroplasticity and neurogenesis How “edit mode” rewires your brain and how it can backfire Why integration therapy is critical after a psychedelic experience Set and setting: the real difference between healing and harm Which psychedelics work best for depression, PTSD, and addiction Why microdosing feels good but may not create long-term change The role of ego death and why it mirrors advanced meditation experiences Psychedelics vs. antidepressants - what the data actually says about efficacy and risk This episode is a deep dive into the science, safety, and spirituality of psychedelics offering clarity in a space often clouded by hype, myth, and misinformation.

Kim Meka shares her journey from narcissistic abuse to healing through plant medicine and radical self-discovery. After escaping a controlling marriage that stripped away her identity, Kim found restoration through ketamine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin therapies. She also discovered her ruptured breast implants were contributing to systemic inflammation, leading to their removal and a profound shift in her relationship with self-image and authenticity. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissistic abuse is about control, not ego - True narcissism is a personality disorder where abusers systematically isolate victims from support systems, control finances, and erode self-worth through manipulation and gaslighting. Plant medicine can reset the nervous system - Kim's PTSD and trauma were effectively treated through ketamine (for depression), ayahuasca (for self-love and inner child healing), and psilocybin (for complete PTSD resolution). Physical and mental trauma are interconnected - Kim's ruptured breast implants went undetected for years, contributing to systemic inflammation that mirrored her emotional state during trauma. Healing requires integration work - While plant medicine provided breakthroughs, lasting healing came from daily practices: journaling, meditation, exercise, and surrounding herself with authentic relationships. Rock bottom can be a foundation for transformation - Losing everything—money, possessions, identity—forced Kim to rebuild authentically, leading to deeper fulfillment than her previous "perfect" life ever provided. FEATURED PRODUCT Bliss - Kim's journey highlights how trauma creates chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. Bliss supports adrenal function and helps regulate cortisol levels—essential for recovering from trauma and managing the daily stress of healing work discussed in this episode.

I saw a man once walk out of the Missouri State Penitentiary after three decades with a few dollars and no plan. I  remember that moment—and this is why I am glad Missouri has set out to build something better. Come behind the scenes with us at the MCA/MPPOA fall conference for a candid tour of what's actually working: “soft handoffs” between institutions and field teams, mental health continuity that doesn't collapse on day one, and an immersive training academy built inside a retrofitted prison that turns rookies into capable, confident officers.We sit down with probation and parole pros and they show how ORAS‑driven case plans tackle real barriers—transportation, IDs, phones, and family support—before release. Their ICTS success stories are honest and hard‑earned: late‑night ER advocacy, field pickups when groups are missed, and quiet graduations that mean someone's eight months sober and off supervision for good. Then we head to Cameron, where the Academy for Excellence in Corrections blends daily defensive tactics, cohort rotations, and hands‑on modules in a dedicated training unit filled with authentic property and safe contraband. It's a modern cadence that builds muscle memory, policy fluency, and the kind of calm that keeps staff safer—and staying longer.We also open the notebook on today's threat landscape. A gang SME explains why hybrid gangs and flexible alliances now drive Missouri's dynamics, why word choice can keep a conversation alive, and how intel shared through the Midwest Gang Investigators Association makes patrol, probation, and custody safer. From motorcycle club rivalries to cross‑agency networking, the theme is collaboration—because corrections holds long‑term insights that street partners need, and training only sticks when it's tethered to the worksite.If you care about reentry that lasts, training that works, and safetySend us a text PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we cover the story of Zack Bowen and Addie Hall! We'll start with how they met in the French Quarter in the chaos after Hurricane Katrina and became small media figures for staying behind when everyone else fled. Then we'll dig into how their lives unraveled over the next year. The drinking, the fights, the PTSD, and the growing hostility behind closed doors. Finally, we'll break down the events of October 2006, when Zack killed Addie, left a detailed confession, and ended his own life days later. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Sponsored by BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com/necro Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom Brokaw famously described America's World War II servicemen as the “Greatest Generation”. But according to the historian David Nasaw, the Americans who fought in the Second World War are better understood as The Wounded Generation. His eponymous new book describes the pain and hardships that 16 million veterans endured upon their return home - a tragic story of PTSD, racism and family breakup. Brokaw celebrated the nobility with which these ex-soldiers got on with civilian life without either complaining or even talking about the war. But for Nasaw, this silence wasn't just stoicism—it was often undiagnosed and sometimes even untreatable trauma.1. WWII Was America's Longest and Most Brutal War The average soldier served nearly three years in uniform (compared to less than one year in WWI), with 75% deployed overseas. Combat on the European front was relentless, especially in the final year, with severe manpower shortages keeping GIs on the front lines for weeks or months without relief.2. Millions Returned with Undiagnosed PTSD Veterans came home with what we now recognize as PTSD, but it was neither diagnosed nor treated. Unable to talk about their experiences, many self-medicated with alcohol. The silence wasn't stoicism—it was trauma. Writers like Salinger and Vonnegut could only process their experiences through fiction years later.3. The GI Bill Excluded Most Black Veterans While celebrated as transformative legislation, the GI Bill's benefits were distributed by local officials. In the South, this meant Black veterans were systematically denied college access (segregated schools were full) and unemployment benefits (they were told to return to sharecropping). Only Northern Black veterans like Harry Belafonte, John Coltrane, and Tito Puente could fully access their benefits.4. America Faced Its Worst Housing Crisis Ever No homes had been built during the Depression or the war years, creating unprecedented shortages when 16 million servicemen returned. This housing crisis, combined with fears of renewed economic depression, added to veterans' anxiety about rebuilding their lives. Politicians like JFK and Jacob Javits fought hard for veterans' housing subsidies.5. The War's Aftermath Lasted Decades 1946 saw record divorce rates and increased lynchings as racial tensions exploded. Veterans who liberated concentration camps or survived POW camps (especially in the Pacific) carried lifelong trauma. Nasaw's central message: wars don't end with peace treaties—the harm to soldiers and civilians lasts for generations.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Today's episode features Ralph De La Rosa. Ralph was the author of three books, including Outshining Trauma: A New Vision of Radical Compassion (foreword by Richard Schwartz). He was a psychotherapist in private practice and a longtime meditation teacher known for his radically honest and humorous approach. His work was featured in GQ, CNN, NY Post, Tricycle, Mindful Magazine, and beyond.Perhaps most crucial is that Ralph walked the path of outshining trauma alongside the people he worked with. He was a survivor of PTSD, heroin addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, ADHD, and liver failure. Walking through these matters with the help of profound therapists and mentors became an empowerment no school could have offered. It was simply part of his path to offer back what he had been shown.Ralph mentored personally with Richard Schwartz, founder of the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy, known for its efficacy in healing trauma. He also completed an invite-only advanced teacher training with Jack Kornfield.He began practicing meditation in 1996 and trained in a spectrum of yogic and healing traditions, including devotional Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. Ralph began teaching Buddhist-inspired meditation in 2008. He identified as a practitioner and teacher of human spirituality, offering a highly specialized hybrid of IFS and Buddhism to guide students on a direct path of conscious evolution and self-discovery.As a therapist, Ralph was a summa cum laude graduate of Fordham University. He spent his earliest days working in NYC's clinical foster care system where he trained in multiple modalities of trauma-focused therapy. He maintained a small roster of therapy clients for the love of witnessing transformation up close.Ralph was also an intersectional activist, musician, wannabe acrobat, and outdoor enthusiast, who made his home in Seattle, WA. His teachings and writings continue to inspire and support people navigating trauma and transformation.Some of the topics we covered in this episode include:A beginning guided meditationWhat drew Ralph to IFSOverlaps with ACT and IFSThe value of living with an open heartAnd Ralph guides me through some experiential IFS work—————————————————————————Outshining Trauma: https://a.co/d/cQ8kREn—————————————————————————Thank you all for checking out the episode!

So you have panic about problems that aren't present.For fun, let's call that PTSD.Now I'm not a therapist. I can't diagnose or treat.But I abandoned PTSD a long time ago.And I gotta tell you…Whenever you stop panicking about problemsthat aren't present.I've been noticing this for years now….Seems like most of the world is stuck in “Panic about problems that aren't present.”That kind of panic—about problems not present—produces pain.Anxiety and insomnia too…Add in a dash of Paranoia…And that was my life….And I've never looked back…Or had a problem - since….I was sitting in the garden, reading through a mountain of cool shit I had printed out…Neville Goddard taught the Four Mighty Ones.He shared that we always begin with the Producer moment.The “Wouldn't it be cool?” moment.For me it was….Wouldn't it be cool…To marry her?To build the life doing what I love - while making great money…To own that kind of classic car?The Producer.He plays in pure energy.He opens up to possibility.He awakens as sunshine.He's not solving something.He's creating.See, human nature always wants to prevent, fix, stop.Worry.Guilt.Panic.“Am I enough?”“What's going to go wrong now?”That's mental. That's fear. That's “human nature”.Your divine nature?It doesn't deal with problems.It offers possibility.What if it were true…You came to planet Earth to give life to pure possibility.To marry your beloved.To build your business.To enjoy your body fully every day. (For me it was to do kung fu again….when I couldn't walk without stabbing hip pain.)(Nobody taught you how - or how simple it is - to begin…)We began above with a tiny peek into the First Mighty One.The first Mighty One is the Producer.He speaks in the language and has the vibe of “Wouldn't it be cool.”The Author.He writes the final scene.The wish fulfilled.(Remember, it's gotta be - ONE SIP SIMPLE)And it's fueled by oxytocin.Belonging.Acceptance.“Nice job. Way to go.”That's how your mind/body feels it's done.This ain't a long movie.You don't need a mantra.You need - what builds you - a ROCK SOLID moment of magic.But ask yourself: in what we've shared here in this tiny little artcle…Where's the panic?Where's the “I'm broken” story?Where's the “how to fix what's bothering me” part?Nowhere.This is the playground of possibility. The realm of AWAKENED IMAGINATION.In a world, where most people are being MENTAL.(When they THINK they are - imaginal.)Let's nail this….Because at any time, you're either mental…Or imaginal.“What if she leaves?”“What if I lose it all?”“What if we crash?”“But what about????”“What if this doesn't work out - again. Why should I even try.”That's panic. That's pain.“Wouldn't it be cool…”That's elevation. That's rising.This is literal.This is physiology.Every time you panic about problems that aren't present…You deny your divinity.And denying your divinity means you can't accept your wish.Not in its fullness.The Four Mighty Ones are the name of God.Neville taught this.You can read his lectures… or, you can join us right now….We're doing four deep dive calls on this.We call it:If you want a life that's possibility-driven…Not fear-driven.Reach out.I'll send you the details.Or click here now:

Anna highlights that many individuals crave connection and understanding but often feel isolated, leading to loneliness and strained relationships.During the discussion, Anna shares her personal background of growing up in a commune with a mother plagued by addiction, which subjected her and her family to violence, poverty, and neglect. Despite these challenges, she managed to remain a high-functioning student throughout her childhood and early adulthood. However, a series of traumatic events in her 30s, including the death of her mother, a serious heartbreak, and a violent attack, left her with profound psychological effects, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At that time, the concept of PTSD was not well understood outside military contexts, leaving Anna feeling isolated and struggling with her mental health amidst overwhelming shame and fear.In her conversation with Gina Ryan, Anna explains the significant misdiagnosis of childhood trauma symptoms, revealing her struggle with emotional dysregulation and her eventual journey to recovery. After initially finding therapy unhelpful, Anna serendipitously discovered effective techniques for managing her anxiety and depression through support from a friend who had also endured severe life struggles. These techniques, which included writing down her anxious and angry thoughts and feelings—effectively releasing them—and practicing meditation, became transformative tools for her.#CPTSD, #ComplexPTSD, #ChildhoodTrauma, #TraumaHealing, #Dysregulation, #NeurologicalDysregulation, #EmotionalRegulation, #Connectability, #Disconnection, #Isolation, #AnnaRunkle, #CrappyChildhoodFairy, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #DailyPractice, #Reregulated, #ReRegulation, #TraumaRecovery, #HealingTechniques, #SelfHelp, #LifeSkills, #SocialSkills, #Meditation, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #HealingJourney, #InnerPeace, #Belonging, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pete Scobell is a former U.S. Navy SEAL Lieutenant with 17 years of service, including six combat deployments, best known as the real-life member of the SEAL team that rescued Captain Richard Phillips from Somali pirates in 2009, inspiring the film Captain Phillips. Scobell served in the United States Navy as both an enlisted and officer in the SEAL Teams. He served at SEAL Team EIGHT, ONE, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team ONE and Naval Special Warfare Development Group. Prior to the Navy, Pete was a ski racer in New York State and the Pennsylvania State Champion in the Pole Vault. While working as a lifeguard for the state of Pennsylvania, he was awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources Heroism Award for a rescue he made at Presque Isle State Park. A graduate of the United States Naval Academy with a BS in Political Science, he was the third (and last) enlisted SEAL selected to attend the United States Naval Academy. After a four-year hiatus from pole vaulting, he walked onto the Naval Academy Track Team (Division I), set the freshman record, and placed in the IC4As. He was also a starter on the A-side Naval Academy Rugby team. Scobell suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) from an explosion in Afghanistan in 2010, which ended his active duty career. After rigorous rehabilitation at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence, he transformed his experiences into advocacy for TBI and PTSD recovery, speaking to military audiences and veterans' groups. Transitioning to civilian life, Scobell pursued passions in music, releasing country-Americana albums like Wild (2015) as the Pete Scobell Band, acting in films such as Plane (2023) alongside Gerard Butler, and competing as a professional skier after a 17-year hiatus. A father of three and husband, he consults on security, writes, and motivates others through resilience stories, emphasizing mental health and second chances.

We also discuss his experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting from.
