If you've sought help for trauma-related symptoms you were probably told you needed to TALK about it. But a growing body of research shows that one of the most effective therapies for healing depression, anxiety and trauma is WRITING. In this video, I interview James Pennebaker, PhD, professor emeritus of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. My work has been informed by his work since I first began Crappy Childhood Fairy, and this year I got to meet him in Austin and ask a thousand questions. This video was recorded later. Dr. Pennebaker's visionary work has been evaluated in more than 2000 peer-reviewed studies showing that writing is not only therapeutic but has lasting physiological, psychological and emotional benefits that can be measured after just one session.

I started the daily practice two days ago, having no expectations for it. It's barely been 48h, and I already feel the urge to do it more than twice a day. Not because I'm freaked out or stressed but because tearing that paper to bits brings me immense joy and relief. Thanks a lot for the practice. It's simple, easy, clean, and it already brightens my day. I can't wait to see the long-term effects, and if there are none other than the joy of releasing fears and resentments, that's already a huge win!
I had a therapist that wanted me to do art therapy and then touch therapy because words are my coping mechanism. My tongue is my sword. What has worked for me ultimately is changing my story. So, creative writing.
I started reading “Opening Up by Writing It Down” many years ago. Then life got in the way and it’s been on my bookshelf ever since. Time to get back to that!
my favorite CCF episode I'm a big writer even before I found the CCF - the CCF makes me focus on the specifics but writing has been a bit of a blanket for me. Thank you Anna!!!! and DR. Pennebaker. !!!
I started writing about my childhood and how it affected my whole life through the years to try and better understand my complex childhood. I didn't know it at the time but I talked to a friend about it and she said "Stream of Consciousness" is a form of writing. That opened my mind that I am not alone and my therapist at the time said your feelings are justified and you are doing pretty well knowing you need to take care of your mental health. Another one was creating a timeline of my life and what was happening to my parents, siblings and big family or world events. And what my parents childhood was like.
For the year+ that I've been doing the CCF method of Daily Practice 2X's a day, has improved my health and well-being So much. Thank you, Anna Runkle.
Yay! So glad it's been helpful for you! Thank you for sharing :)

Thank you for this interview, I enjoyed learning about the science and research by Dr Pennebaker, and deepening my understanding of the Daily Practice technique.
Thank you. One of the most inspiring exchanges I've witnessed in a very long time. You are both contributing with something powerful - even potentially peacefully revolutionary.
Thank you!
Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got the something essential to share with you, You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough. Love you very much. ❤️
What a delightful conversatin full of many many sparkly bits. I am so glad you're in the world, Anna, and sharing your wisdom and the connections you have and are making. May your teachings flourish.
True. I've been journaling since my trauma and nightmares and it really helps me process everything better. Im slowly starting to sleep better
You nailed it. Now. The secrecy of the trauma fuels the shame and aloneness. This is WHY the urge to “share” entices me (with friends I care about) - to feel seen and loved in totality of true self, wound and all. Then I feel cringe for oversharing. This has baffled and stunted my ultimate breakthrough for too long. Recently I sense I’ve lost one of my favorite friends ever. I made this friend because of auditioning the “healed” and “confident” self it’s so frustrating at times to find that balance. Why is this urge to go emotionally streaking so persuasive at times, even though my higher self knows not to?
,
Anna so glad you got to connect with him!
What a wonderful man/expert and a great interview. Really seminal for the work Anna is doing as well, along with the book, as far as getting the CCF understanding and practice out into the world and getting recognized by the "professionals." Thank you for everything, always.

What a great interview. Thank you!! 💕
Turns out I bought one of his books in 2020! Sweet! ❤
I LOVE your advice! I've been binge watching your videos for about a week. So much great information.
Thank you for this very self empowering and accessible advice.
Thank you for this! I'm write 😊 there with you on writing. My personal feeling on this is writing things down makes it real. Making it Real allows me to deal with it. Dealing with it allows me to talk about it. Talking about it allows me to move forward. Rinse and repeat.
Also, thank you so much for everything that you do. I'm a fan
Glad you are here!

Greetings from Mr Axel Vasa the west coast wizard himself, I got the something essential to share with you, When life gets tough, remember that diamonds are made under pressure. Love you very much. ❤️
Wonderful interview. Very uplifting and hopeful for the future of mental health treatment.
How wonderful! U are sure on ur way Fairy! A watershed moment interviewing Dr. Pennebaker. Grateful. 🙏💕🪷
I connected with this topic. I feel more comfy in my skin . As if it was waiting come outside for a breath. I also write to learn about my self . I'm retired now and trying to change my evil ways and understand me. Takes restlessness away for me. My go to coping skills. This was good thank you❤
This was very interesting. I am a South African who has been dealing with an opiate use disorder over the last few years. I had exposure to 12 step philosophy, being the most accessible peer support group across the world and I really struggle with that antiquated system of belief that I feel disregards the role of trauma and refuses to adjust its views to accommodate almost 100 years of knowledge.
I have been working the daily practice for a few months. I have found a way to really combine it with my yoga practice which has been really effective for me. Yoga is my primary source of dopamine and general healing and adding the writing and extending the time I spend meditating in shivasna has already made huge differences to how I perceive myself in relation to my environment, both in the past and in the present. I really believe that this should be the direction that addiction treatment moves into. The broad clinical paradigms around addiction yield such low levels of success, it is in desperate need of a revamp and trauma is a vital part of that.
Thanks for your great work and I very much look forward to reading your book and engaging more with your community 😊
Thank you. I think everything is changing as well!
Thank you for this insightful share on reflective writing and its therapeutic benefits
I’ve been writing ever since I was a kid or even making backward loops to relax … my Q is does the method of how we write matter as long as we get the words on paper/recorded? For me, the physical act of writing (cursive) is most cathartic. Does the process work as well with keyboarding? Ty, Anna, for doing this interview!

36:52 Man, tell that critic to pound sand. The reality is traditional therapy like CBT and talk therapy are becoming less available to people because of the expense and lack of insurance coverage. Even EMDR and EFF tapping are very expensive and not available to so many people who need it.
Anna offers something that seems to help a majority of the time and is free and accessible almost everywhere.
After 30 years of therapy (most of which was useless) and thousands of dollars later, I have a lot of hope in expressive writing and also the 12 Step programs are amazing. This writing is helping me and others immensely so I don’t care which “professional” has a problem with it!!!
Thank you for this conversation 💞💙👊👊. I’ve been hushed all my life. It is very hard to write for me and or feel. Once started a few years ago. Kinda felt a freedom and acceptance and it then got shut down. It’s been very hard since. Any recommendations ?? No money for therapy right now. Should I just keep at it and try and see how it goes ???
Anna has a free course to learn the Daily Practice in the Description, it has really helped me get my feelings out on paper.
If you haven't already, you may want to try Anna's free course ‘The Daily Practice’. It includes writing but it doesn't have to be long. It is a simple technique (yet effective for many!) that led to Anna’s own healing, and she uses it to this day. Here’s a link if you’re interested: bit.ly/CCF_DailyPractice

You could start by writing just one word or sentence a day. Even free writing(just writing whatever comes to your mind, etc.) Keep it small and see how it builds as a habit.
"Be your own scientist." Amen. Find out what works for you. I once posted somewhere optimistically about how I had found healing techniques that worked for me (thank you, Fairy). My critic referred to it as "bumper sticker healing." I laughed because I flashed back to my husband's AA group that was full of old, crusty, chain'-smoking, coffee-swilling members who drove old beaters with "One Day at a Time" bumper stickers.. Is AA "bumper sticker healing"? If so, sign me up for more. There are so many amazing modalities of healing. Nobody just has to suffer. Taking responsibility for one's own healing is the only solution. Try everything.
"bumper stickers" are distillations of helpful ideas. Complicated ideas are not always the right widget!

Sooooo cooool.Thank you so much💛💛💛
Writing things on paper is magic. If you don't believe me, then write a list on paper and put it in a drawer or something. Don't even think about it. When you finally remember it and come back to it all or almost all the things will be done. Without even thinking about it.
I believe it's a way for the conscious mind to communicate with the subconscious.
I seem to get one illness after another. After my husband died I got rheumatoid arthritis shortly after. Just woke up one morning and couldn’t get off the bed. I had watched him seizure to death after fully caring for him many years. Also lost brother and father prior year. 10 years later and I get rid of one health problem and another pops up.
I hear you and you're not alone.Have you tried the free course Anna shared the link to at the end of the video? It can be a good first step to healing. Give it a try if you're interested: bit.ly/CCF_DailyPractice

I write music. While most of my songs are fictional, there’s a little bit of truth in everything I write. And yes, it helps.
Great interview. Anna, it seems like you aren’t actually healing your triggers in whatever way that works best for you.
While your writing techniques are extremely helpful, the actual looking at our triggers and sitting with those feelings, over time, is that only path to true healing.
Am I wrong? Did I misunderstand your comments about how your trauma comes up for you randomly?
I feel like I’m missing some info somewhere.
Thx for doing what you do!
Or EMDR…there is another way, and that’s with EMDR. You still have to sit with those feelings, it’s just very condensed and compressed so it’s a much faster method to real healing. Thank God!
Yaay!!🎉
Amazing ❤
thank you for all you do! Purchased your new book!! I just wanted to let you know I signed up for the Hay House webinar but have not received info/confirmation to join in on the webinar. I signed up twice just incase something went wrong. Please tell me what I did wrong?
You need to contact Hay House support. Hope to see you there later today!
@@CrappyChildhoodFairy thank you
Speaking only for myself, no disrespect to Anna or anyone here for whom writing has helped.. but.. it only makes me worse. I've tried so many times I've lost count. Oh well.
❤

Whyvdors she Call everything a trauma - grow up
Narcissist

I've always felt that I expressed myself with when writing instead of speaking - probably why I loved English at school 🥹❤️
How many times I've said, " if only I could write my way through life..."
Prefer it to speaking.😊
