I think the message there and this is- I do believe this- that if you don't address the addiction itself- in other words I am addicted to a particular substance- sugar, dairy, whatever it is trigger food- and if I don't remove that, then I will get stuck in that groove and no amounts of trauma, work or psychosocial or even higher power will do much.
What if the food you crave is tied to past trauma? In this episode of The Kick Sugar Coach Podcast, Dr. Vera Tarman, M.D., sheds light on the complex relationship between food addiction and trauma. With her extensive experience in addiction treatment and a personal journey of overcoming food addiction, Dr. Tarman brings a unique perspective to the table. She shares how trauma can be intertwined with addiction, but also discusses views that consider them as separate issues. Dr.
Tarman explores various theories, from trauma being a root cause to addiction being a spiritual crisis. Her approach isn't about finding definitive answers but about understanding the multifaceted nature of addiction and its links to trauma. You'll hear her emphasize the need to treat both addiction and trauma simultaneously, rather than using one as a stopgap for the other. She also highlights the critical role of nutrition in recovery and the importance of compassion throughout the journey.
If you're seeking an enlightening discussion that combines professional insights with personal experience, this episode offers valuable perspectives on managing food addiction and healing from trauma.
