Understanding Food and Body Image with Dr. Ebony Butler

We're trying to shrink our bodies to be more worthy, because we were told that more worthy is white god.
Ever wondered how your relationship with food might be affecting your mental health? In this episode of Tearapy Recovery, Dr. Ebony Butler, a licensed psychologist and food relationship strategist, joins the conversation to unravel the complex ties between our diet, body image, and emotional well-being. Dr. Ebony has dedicated her career to helping women of color heal from trauma and develop healthier relationships with food.
She brings a wealth of knowledge on how internalized racism and past traumas can shape our eating habits and body perceptions. This episode dives deep into the need for control, emotional regulation, and how these factors contribute to disordered eating patterns. Dr. Ebony shares practical advice on building self-care skills, improving communication, and setting boundaries to foster a healthier relationship with food.
One of the standout moments is her discussion on developing an internal sense of worthiness, rather than relying on societal standards to define our attractiveness. With a blend of empathy and expertise, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone struggling with food-related issues or seeking to improve their mental wellness. Tune in to learn how to trust your body, understand its needs, and take steps towards a more balanced life.
