Happy Satiated Saturday! For a long time, I would rather feel uncomfortably full than feel my emotions. I would rather eat too much, than drop into my body. I would rather feel so hungry that I couldn't feel anything at all. When you're in the process of healing your relationship with food, often there can be an over focus on what is happening with food. Your relationship with food is a window into your relationship with your emotions. When your emotions and sensations feel safe to experience, then your relationship with food can change. The more time you spend with yourself, the less food is needed to help regulate you as you're already doing that on your own. In this week’s episode, I talk with Heidi Gruss, Personal Development Coach and Psychotherapist, about why creating time to be with you is crucial to any transformation and practices you can engage in to move toward the changes you would like to make in your life.You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/stop-self-soothing-with-foodAs a reminder, if you want to chat about this Satiated Podcast episode, come join my membership on Patreon!
