Learning to Trust Your Body When You've Been Taught Not To
from Queers Against Diet Culture · host Riah Spivey
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, second-guessed your hunger, ignored your intuition, or felt afraid to listen to yourself, this episode is for you. In this episode, we unpack how diet culture trains us to distrust our bodies, why that distrust can feel even deeper for queer folks, and what “trusting your body” actually looks like in real life (spoiler: it’s not perfect intuition or constant confidence). We talk about why trust feels so scary, how rebuilding it is a practice, and gentle tools you can start using without forcing yourself into “body trust” before you’re ready. ✨ Tarot pull of the week: The Moon ✨ Journal prompts: In what small ways does my body already try to communicate with me? What happens inside me when I ignore a bodily signal versus when I listen to one? Where am I confusing control with safety?
