Satiated Episode 164: How Metaphor, Allegory, and Symbolism Can Guide You Toward Healing Food and Body Issues

Happy Satiated Saturday! When I was diving deeper into healing my relationship with food, my therapist at the time suggested I read  Eating in the Light of the Moon  by Anita Johnston. I was living by myself for the first time, trying to practice slowing down, and enjoying spending time with myself. I would do this through snuggling up on my couch and picking up this book. Not only is it an amazing read, but this book holds a special place in my heart for this time I spent with it and myself. So...In this week’s episode, I had the honor to chat with Dr. Anita Johnston, author of Eating in the Light of the Moon, Co-creator of the Light of the Moon Cafe, and Executive Clinical Director of 'Ai Pono Hawaii Eating Disorder Treatment Program, about how metaphor will help you to heal your relationship with food, what you will need to learn to release food from the job of helping you self soothe, and how to crack the code of your food cravings. You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode  here: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/healing-food-and-body-issuesYou will continue to learn about interpreting your food impulses in the Somatic Eating® Program!
