13: How the nervous system impacts disordered eating, body image, and your thoughts
Episode description
Your thoughts don’t need to be “fixed” with more mindset work and affirmations! Thoughts are a surface level indicator of the state your nervous system and can give you clues as to what you can do to bring yourself back to a regulated state. Understanding this concept will change the game of healing your relationship with food and your body. In this episode I explore how our behavior around food changes when we are in each of the 3 different nervous system states. Also, how you perceive your body changes depending on your nervous system! This information can change your life! Find out… Why your thoughts are just a symptom of your nervous system state. What thoughts, emotions, and behaviors correlate with each nervous system state? How does disordered eating relate to the nervous system? Why your relationship with food is not about food. How do our eating behaviors change when we are in different nervous system states? What states are correlated with food obsessions, overeating, and restricting? Different foods we crave in different states. How does the nervous system impact your body image? What weighing myself everyday taught me about my nervous system. Ways you can self-soothe without food. What is co-regulation? How to create new evidence of safety in life and how this helps regulate the nervous system. The “doubling” game I play to support my nervous system. How does the trauma of diet culture impact the nervous system? Links Mentioned
