Happy Satiated Sunday!
I grew up with certain family members always making comments on other's appearance. I know very well how frustrating it can feel to constantly have your body talked about or be around people who talk about other's bodies as if this is a normal thing that we do.
During the holiday season, receiving or hearing comments about what you’re eating or how you look can put your body into a fight, flight, freeze, or flop state. When you’re around people you once relied on to survive in this world, your body can perceive those comments as highly threatening to your sense of safety and security. It's not just about your body and food.
It becomes about, will I survive in this world and will those around me protect and care for me. Something that is meant to have so much safety around it, i.e. being in our bodies and eating food, becomes dangerous and threatening to our wellbeing.
In this week’s episode, I offer you a nervous system regulating action plan that you can practice through every holiday gathering to navigate food, family, and friends staying connected to yourself and your body's feedback.
