I think that there's a lot of ways that my clients are already intuitively and very innately resourcing their body and trying to cope in healthier ways. So I have a variety of different sensory and regulation tools that I always have available and sometimes if I can tell something about a client, I might encourage them to try it and see what changes.
Imagine a journey where understanding trauma becomes the key to healing from eating disorders. In this episode of 'Flip Your Lid', host Kim Honeycutt sits down with Registered Dietitian Meg Carber, who brings a fresh perspective on recovery. Meg, known for her compassionate and trauma-informed approach, shares her evolution from a cognitive-behavioral practitioner to an embodied recovery specialist. This transformation isn't just professional; it's deeply personal and reflective of her dedication to helping others heal.
The conversation is rich with insights into how trauma influences eating behaviors and the importance of reconnecting with one's body. Meg and Kim discuss the Polyvagal theory and its relevance to eating disorders, offering a nuanced understanding of how our nervous system impacts our relationship with food. They explore both 'top down' and 'bottom up' therapeutic approaches, emphasizing the need for holistic healing methods.
One of the standout moments is their discussion on co-regulation and neuroception, highlighting how we can create environments of safety and trust for ourselves and our children. Meg also touches on the dangers of using food destructively and the critical role of intuitive eating in child development. Listeners will find valuable takeaways on defining personal safety and breaking free from maladaptive behaviors. This episode is not just about theory; it's a heartfelt guide to practical steps for recovery and well-being.
Whether you're dealing with eating disorders, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the intersection of trauma and health, this conversation offers a wealth of wisdom and hope.
