About this listen

If you’ve ever struggled with disordered eating, food control, or feeling unsafe in your body because of food, you are not alone. And more importantly—it’s not your fault.

In this episode, we explore how childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and survival responses shape your relationship with food, your body, and your emotions.

This isn’t about willpower or discipline. It’s about understanding why your nervous system treats food as a coping mechanism—and how to start healing.

Together, we’ll unpack:
- Why trauma can rewire your relationship with food and make eating feel unsafe
-Small, practical ways to start feeling safer in your body

- Why acknowledging your emotions (instead of shutting them down) can change everything

This episode offers clarity, and next steps—because healing isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself.
