Healing Through Food: Jill Lewis on Trauma and Eating Disorders

I'm constantly asking about emotions, and if someone cannot tolerate, ask or is so defensive that they couldn't even have an emotion, as in you know, when you're talking and I'm hearing that many of your relationships have not worked out, I'm sensing maybe there might be sadness or disappointment.
Have you ever wondered how trauma impacts your relationship with food and your body? In this episode of 'Hope After Narcissistic Abuse', host Amy Helms sits down with Jill Lewis, a psychotherapist who champions the Health At Every Size (HAES) approach. Jill believes everyone deserves a healthy relationship with their body, free from the constraints of diet culture. Her unique, connection-focused therapy helps clients explore their relationships with food, family, and themselves in a way that challenges societal norms.
Throughout their conversation, Amy and Jill tackle the tough questions: How does trauma shape our eating habits? Why is it so hard to break free from restrictive diets? And how can we learn to trust our gut instincts again? Jill's insights shed light on the often-hidden links between trauma and eating disorders, offering hope and practical advice for those struggling to find balance.
Whether you're dealing with an eating disorder or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a compassionate look at healing from the inside out. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion that encourages you to rethink your relationship with food and embrace a more inclusive, understanding approach to health.
