Happy Satiated Saturday! We have been living in a time where we have been more isolated than ever. This past year we have been told to stay away from one another, stay in our homes, and socially distance. Physical distance may have been necessary, yet social connection was and is more important than ever. Dr. Porges, who created the Polyvagal Theory says, “We as humans seek safety, and this feeling of safety is based on social connectedness, which provides both mental and physical health. Being safe is not the equivalent of removing a threat.” Something that can often occur when navigating patterns of disordered eating or eating disorders is a tendency toward isolation. In this week’s episode, we will discuss how social isolation can actually fuel patterns of disordered eating including chronic dieting, restriction, binging, and overexercising.You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here. You're never truly alone on this healing journey. I'm here for you every step of the way.With Compassion and Empathy,Stephanie Mara FoxSpecial thanks to Bendsound for the intro music in this episode. www.bensound.comSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter of the show here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportCheck out my favorite water filter: https://www.pureeffectfilters.com/#a_aid=somaticeatingCheck out my favorite protein powder and receive 15% off when you use the code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/discount/STEPHANIEMARA?rfsn=7433250.c99684Use my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsoun...
