How I Recovered from Childhood PTSD: The Daily Practice

I don't believe in miracles, but I believe in Anna.

I am making a promise to myself to commit to the daily practice. After three therapists who didn’t know what to do with my dysregulation, and a psychiatrist waiting in the wings, I’m tired of feeling the way I do. The highs and lows, the difficulty focusing, the emotions that feel so heavy like I could just die from them.

Thank you for helping us, Anna. ❤

2 months into this I have results & insights. Actually noticed after 1 week. Thank you.

Love you dear you are light🌺🇮🇳

I STRUGGLE with just a few minutes of meditation (I’m Christian so I focus on a scripture). It seems impossible to spend 20 minutes both day AND night. Any tips/suggestions?

This was amazing, you put into words so many things i was never able to describe.

Well, What is it ???
This Daily Practice.
I watched intensely, but, it wasn't said ???

Hello !! I was wondering if you could explain the "signing off" part at the end the writing. What you personally do. I didnt pick that up in the daily practice series. Ok thank you very much !❤😊

💚💚💚

This is like a possible door opening for me. Whyy has odependents Anonymous not worked for me after years of going through the motions. Im drowning in "self help."

I woke up so sad. I didn't fall asleep until well after the sun came up. I'm so glad I found this channel. I still feel alone, but at least there's some semblance of a community. I'm trying to work up the nerve to leave the house and go to the gym. If I don't, I'll feel like I failed my one social task for the day. Anyway, thanks for being here.

God says in the Islamic faith tradition " theres no ailment or illness for which He (God) has not created a cure..."

(Hadith)saying of Prophet Muhammad pbuh

God bless Anna for evidencing that.

💚🙏😊⭐️🌟

Okay but what is it ?

Thank you 🙏 journaling is only thing that helps me. So many people have tried to stop me writing in my life very strange but this video has confirmed alot regarding my writing and coping with my C-PTSD....I'm now 45 finally got my own little place now I'm taking little consistent steps 👣 to healing you help me alot...you are appreciated 💜⚔️💜

This Daily Practice is a new concept for me. I've written twice so far, a few days apart. It's difficult to start a new habit with a short-term memory like Dust in the Wind. ADHD? I thought so for decades. C-PTSD seems more likely the case. At the end of the first Writing, I wrote my release similar to how the Scriptures describe throwing my burden on God and letting Him give me peace. I folded the page between my folded hands, lightly rumpled the page, and opened my hands heavenward and said, Thank You. Being the Sappy Mush that I've always been, grateful tears of relief trickled down my face. I then did something kind of odd: Instead of reaching for the nearby tissues, I used the rumpled paper to wipe the tears, opened my hands heavenward again, then let the wet paper fall into the trash can. This was like a visual representation of throwing my cares onto God and not taking them back onto myself. It seemed appropriate, so I treated today's Writing the same way. Shortly afterward, when I watched one of the teaching videos and Anna said to destroy the page after signing off, I thought about the rumpled wet paper that I let fall into the trash can. Yep, that works. And yep, Sappy Mush that I am, grateful tears of relief are trickling down my face again as I write this comment.

Learning about C-PTSD and Prefrontal Cortex imbalances and how to reregulate has started my healing process. My childhood was mildly crappy in comparison to some, and still crappy enough to have injured my mind. Humans are surprisingly resilient creatures. Our loving God made us in such a way that our injuries can be healed. And he has reassured us that the day is coming when he will wipe every tear from our eyes, and neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. (Revelation 21:4) These former hurtful things will not be called to mind. His original purpose for mankind will happen. Soon. Very Soon.

I watched the whole video, but I never did hear how to do the practice. I have that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that you get when you realize that you just spent a valuable chunk of your time trying to get some information you really needed, only to find out at the very end that you were just watching a long commercial for something you were going to have to buy. 😢

Thank you Anna for all the help you are giving me and everyone out there who is struggling with this condition. You are a Miracle. Xx

12-Step Programs are great therapy even if you’re not alcoholic. (However, I think alcohol affects all of us in one form or another).

Why do parents treat their children so badly?
What is the daily practice? If it will help, I need it!!

It's day 5 of doing the daily practice, and I'm starting to feel calmer. I look forward to it. I wonder how much better I'll feel after 30 days? It's exactly what I needed to do. Thank you.

Do not skip the meditation part! It's critical...I thought I could just do the writing but you need to soothe yourself after you do this otherwise you'll just be in the vortex of those thoughts. I've done it with the mediation and without and I won't be skipping the meditation anymore!

Did I miss the part where she explains how to do it???

Thank you from the Deepest of my heart ❤

This practice is changing my life. The Daily Practice helps me have boundaries with the fear and resentments and not carry them around all day. It's freedom and allows me to truly show up between writings. I choose to no longer carry them around. God will remove them, just be patient. It took me 7 days of writing about the same fear and then my answer, my miracle came. There is freedom from fear, shame, judgment, insecurity, discontentment, etc. This practice opens the door for God to do His miracles in us. Thank you so much for sharing this.

I did it. It works. What a relief! And it was free. God bless Anna richly.

I got ptsd diagnos after the war i was in Bosnia. During emdr discovered i even childhood ptsd.
Im heald but still there is comming some unconscious part.

Ok but she never said the daily practice

What is the daily practice? I heard you mention something in one second about writing something down. What do you write down?

I would love to try the daily practice if I could figure out what it is. . .

I tried the daily practice but it doesnt work for me. Im out of balance when Im tired and sleep deprived. Regulation for me is putting myself back in balance by proper physical self care aleep food etc. But when Im overworked and have no time to rest then its again difficult.

When you talk abou desrugilation do you mean nervous system dysregulation ? Being stuck in fight flight freeze

Thanks💜🌹🕊

I recently noticed that if I practice yoga daily, I mentally feel better and can stay present. This realization is my motivation to continue to take care of ME and everything else will fall where it's meant to be.

I just want to thank you for this amazing tool! Every time I do it, it is such a relief!

Thank you so much for sharing your videos they came right on time! God bless you 🙌🏾

Being financially independent helps a lot with helping mental illness.

I'm so grateful God blessed you and put you in position to help me. Thank you

Thank you for this video I am wanting some advice.
When I write about my childhood in detail I get intense feelings come up and I want to yell or scream it doesn’t necessarily have to be a traumatic or particularly bad event if I push through it though I get insight and a lot of calm.
Wherever I go on the web I can’t find much about this on the internet, not to that level, do you know what is happening and should I keep this practice up because I get relief from doing it but I have to keep doing it otherwise I lose the good I have done.
Thanks

Magic formula: Daily practice of writing down resentful and disregulated emotions on paper to take the edge off ❤️

I started doing it a few days ago only. So I am doing it for a tiny, tiny moment. I meditate for over a year regularly. Here is what is happening to me: It was pretty interesting. I never had this experience of almost seizure-like waves of emotions of disgust and pain going in the rhythm of 60 seconds during meditation. It was gross. I realized that strong emotions come in waves. Noramybi would talk to myself, tell stories to sooth myself. I would detach a lot from daydreams. Now I feel so much better afterward. Sitting with those feelings is no fun; I don’t always ‘understand’ them, but I don’t go to the story. I finally have a gist of what it means to sit with your feelings. They can leave the system thanks to writing. Otherwise, I am so great at shifting my attention away from the pain; the ‘normal’ meditation, body therapy, nor talk therapy didn’t help as much; I still think for me, it is essential to have talk therapy, and I am making the daily practice a part of daily routine. thank you so much Anna for sharing those tools! 💖

Thanks anna

WHAT ARE THE TWO techniques?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!???!!!! You never actually tell us what they are? PLEASE HELP! WHAT IS THE PRACTICE???

Daily Practice: Writing down fearful and resentment thoughts followed by meditation

A friend sent this to me today that I'd like to share. The daily writing reminds me of this scripture:

"Don't be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of you life, then God's wonderful peace that transcends human understanding will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always." Philippians 4:6-8 The Passion Translation

I totally missed WHAT the daily practice is…or you didn’t say!

OMG 😲 I can totally relate! I've been looking for help here and I just feel like I'm still spinning my wheels! Wow! I grew up in Northern California too!

Hello - after doing TDP for a month now, my fears and resentments are getting much shorter and/or are the same from day to day. Sometimes I have a full page, but others just two or three sentences. I don't want to write stuff down/dig stuff up that isn't there at the moment. Does one always have to write?

I have never liked writing because I can’t stand re-reading my own thoughts.
What do you do after you’ve written?
Do you store the pages? Or crumple and toss?
Thanks!

I wish I could afford your courses. I am 27 and hearing people write to you who are in their 60s scares me a little. I don't want to go one more day like this.
