In order to develop as a person, it's important to be able to look inside safely. It should feel safe to go in.
Have you ever wondered how to truly connect with your body and trust its signals? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles chats with Amy Pershing, the author of 'Binge Eating Disorder: The Journey to Recovery and Beyond'. Amy is a pioneer in the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED) and has spent over 30 years developing a strengths-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems and somatic trauma techniques.
She’s also the founder of the Bodywise Binge Eating Disorder Recovery Program and the Clinical Director of the Center for Eating Disorders in Ann Arbor. Amy shares her wealth of experience and unique insights into the importance of body-awareness, trust, and acceptance. She discusses intuitive eating, a method that encourages listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and the concept of 'health at every size', which promotes body positivity regardless of weight.
Her approach is all about tuning into your body in a safe and compassionate way, fostering a healthier relationship with food and self. Throughout the conversation, Amy highlights the critical role of addressing trauma in recovery. She explains how somatic trauma techniques can help individuals reconnect with their bodies and heal from past wounds.
The episode also touches on the Internal Family Systems model, which views the mind as composed of multiple sub-personalities or 'parts', each with its own perspective and memories. This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with eating disorders, body image issues, or simply looking to improve their relationship with their body. Amy's empathetic approach and practical advice make this a must-listen for those seeking holistic health and personal growth.
