187: Trauma and Body Trust - What You Need To Know
Welcome back to another episode, everyone. I’m very excited about the year ahead. Learning is one of my core values and last year I started doing training in trauma. At first, I simply wanted to have a trauma-informed approach to my coaching but the process intrigued me and opened so many realizations about the connection between trauma and healing around food and body. So now I’m doing true trauma training, the Gentle Trauma Release method, and I want to talk about why I’m doing that in today’s episode. Why it’s so important and why I think it’s essential for me to learn. So join me as I explore why trauma is relevant to building body trust.

It’s first important to define trauma, I believe. Many people think about big life events when we talk about trauma, like the wildfires in LA right now or violence or loss. But trauma can also be broader and include smaller less obvious experiences. Being bullied as a child or growing up constantly criticized. And these traumas overwhelm our ability to cope. Trauma often shows up as physical symptoms like headaches, fatigue or digestive issues or in emotional symptoms like difficulty trusting. And all these effects interrupt our relationships with our bodies and with food. And that’s what I talk about in this episode. How trauma is affecting our body trust. How our nervous systems are responding. What we can do to heal trauma and create a safe supportive space for ourselves and our bodies again.
