Description
Colli Christante grew up eating whole foods and very little sugar, and she brought up her daughter that way too. She doesn't remember her daughter being sick as a child.Naturally, as she grew up, Colli's daughter experimented with sugar and other types of processed foods, but then when she herself became a mother, she reverted back to whole foods.Colli tells about her experience with alcoholism, first with her father and then with her ex-husband. Their consumption of alcohol affected their mood and behaviour... causing suffering for herself and her family. The thing is, alcohol affects the body in a similar way to sugar.Colli's field of expertise is as a family trauma therapist. From her practice and her personal experience, she knows all about trauma and self-sabotage. In this episode, we talk about the connection between trauma and emotional eating, and how consuming sugar and alcohol can be a form of self-sabotage. We also talk about how to deal with reaching out for sugary foods or alcohol as a coping mechanism, and how to create a "new normal".
