Happy Satiated Saturday! If I look back on my healing journey and the paths of those I have worked with, I see similar themes. It can all start with some kind of trauma and insecure attachment in childhood that created dysregulation in the body. To manage that, a focus on food and body image came in.It can feel like the dieting, exercising, and hyper focus on your food and body are giving you some sense of control, but really these things are controlling you and keeping you at a distance from yourself (and for good reason!) So when the urge arises to take back your life, we sometimes have to work it backward. It can start with breaking up with dieting, healing your relationship with food, and then slowly (very slowly) coming back into your body to feel what's there and has been there all along.In this week’s episode, I chat with Saskia Carr, Intuitive Eating, Body Image, and Mindfulness Coach, about what diet culture is, what the process of breaking up with dieting looks like, the illusion of body control, that healing our relationship with our bodies does NOT need to include loving our bodies, and on your healing journey what comes after no longer worrying about your food or body. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode  here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/breaking-up-with-diet-cultureThis healing adventure takes time. It took me about a decade to feel like I have a regulating and safety producing relationship with my food and body. Now, you might be thinking, "Stephanie, I don't have that amount of time. I need to heal this yesterday." I get it. I had those thoughts too. And, taking your time will be worth it. You won't be at a standstill. Small increments of change will occur every day, every week, every month. If I can be of support in any way on this path, reach out anytime. With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxKeep in touch with Saskia here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/intuitively.eaten/Website: https://www.saskiacarr.com/Contact: Support 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...
