In order to heal our relationship with food, eating, and our bodies, we have to learn to feel safe eating and in our environment.
Ever wondered why your relationship with food feels so complicated? Tracy Brown, a trauma-informed nutrition therapist, dives into this on the Hope After Narcissistic Abuse Podcast with host Amy Helms. Tracy explains that trauma can linger in our bodies, disrupting our ability to feel safe while eating. To heal, she suggests we need to create a sense of safety both in our environment and within ourselves. Tracy shares practical examples of how to achieve this 'attuned eating'.
From breathwork and grounding exercises to working with a supportive provider, her methods focus on regulating the nervous system. This isn't about strict diets or rigid rules; it's about tuning into your body's needs and making choices that feel nourishing and joyful. One of the key takeaways from Tracy's approach is the importance of self-compassion. She emphasizes that trauma isn't just the event itself, but also the lack of care and witness afterwards.
This neglect can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms like binge eating. By fostering a compassionate relationship with yourself, you can begin to heal from these patterns. For those struggling with narcissistic abuse or other forms of trauma, Tracy's insights offer a path to reclaiming joy in eating and living. Her conversation with Amy Helms provides not just expert advice but also a sense of community and hope.
Tune in to learn how you can start feeling safer in your body and find peace with food.
