Sometimes what I've experienced is still continue to push and push and push, but wait a second. But I would say inviting the body, exploring the possibility of allowing the body to give you some information, to guide you where we are disconnected or the quality of being connected or disconnected.
Imagine a healing journey where the concept of 'mothering' plays a pivotal role in recovery. In this episode of Trauma Warriors, Jodie Gale sits down with Caroline Gebhardt, a therapist specializing in disordered eating recovery, to discuss her innovative model, M-Bodied Mothering Medicine. Caroline's approach is both unique and nurturing, using mothering metaphors and polyvagal theory to help individuals reconnect with food and exercise in ways that are both pleasurable and sustainable.
She introduces the idea of the 'good enough mother', emphasizing that it's not about perfection but about being present and supportive. Caroline delves into the importance of understanding trauma and attachment theory in the context of disordered eating. She highlights how multigenerational trauma can influence eating behaviors and underscores the necessity of building a trusting relationship in therapy. Anger, often seen as a negative emotion, is reframed as a crucial part of the healing process.
Listeners will also learn about attunement and needs, and how reconnecting with family can be an essential step toward recovery. Caroline shares practical tips for practicing distress tolerance and befriending one's body and feelings. She even touches on the healing power of nature and Mother Earth, offering a holistic view of recovery. If you're struggling with disordered eating or looking to deepen your understanding of body connection, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
Tune in to explore how mothering metaphors and polyvagal theory can pave the way to a healthier relationship with food and self.
