Breakthrough Food Recovery Stuckness With Psychedelics and Movement with Francesca Annenberg
from Satiated Podcast · host Stephanie Mara Fox
My current perspective on eating disorders is that labeling food behaviors as a disorder has kept the field of food recovery distracted, continuing to focus on that food is the problem. Patterns of binge eating, restriction, yo yo dieting, food noise, and body image struggles need to be re-labeled as nervous system dysregulation or a trauma response. Food, for many, was never actually the problem, but it was the strategy to support the nervous system, to cultivate safety, and to produce specific neurotransmitters. The safer you feel in your body, the less you can experience food or body image impulses that are trying to facilitate safety.In this week's episode, I chat with Francesca Annenberg, Eating Disorder Recovery, Somatic Practitioner, and Psychedelic Integration Guide, about: How psychedelic assisted therapies can be utilized in food recoveryHow movement, sensory awareness and reconnecting with the body can transform food and body image issuesBuilding safety and trust in the bodyThe connection between food, relationships, and self worthYou can also read the transcript to this week’s episode here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/breakthrough-food-recovery-stucknessI truly believe somatic psychology has been the missing piece for many people struggling for decades with their food and body image. This is why I'm passionate about teaching my three month live Somatic Eating® Program to be able to reach more people with this work. You can learn more at somaticeating.com.
