Using IFS and Intuitive Eating to Rebuild Your Trust with Food

The definition of trust is "the firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something."  Firm belief--that's a lot to ask! Would you say that you have a "firm belief" in your ability to approach food in the way you would like?  And do you feel that you have a "firm belief" in your body's ability to know what it needs?  If so, congratulations!   But if you don't, you're not alone.  Most of us don't have a "firm belief" when it comes to navigating food and our bodies.  We don't trust ourselves around the foods that we "fear," and we don't trust our bodies to tell us what they need.  This lack of trust is incredibly common.  But here's the thing:   You absolutely used to trust yourself with food.  And you absolutely used to trust your body.  You were just taught not to. And we're talking about all of that on today's podcast.  In this episode, we're discussing how we lost faith in ourselves and our bodies, and how we can return to trusting ourselves.  I'll show you how to use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Intuitive Eating (IE) approaches to forget all of those diet culture messages and get back to trusting yourself again.  When you get that trust back, you can approach food with the calm awareness of a Self-Led eater (see our last episode).  Take a listen!
