What if overcoming your eating struggles and healing your relationship with food wasn’t JUST about nutrition education? What if it was also about healing your inner child?
Today, Sam dives into the transformative world of inner child work with the fellow dietitian Meg Carber. They explore the significance of childhood experiences on adult struggles, especially concerning food and body image.
They begin the episode by discussing how Meg became a non-diet dietitian. Meg shares a little bit about her training on somatic work, what it is, and why it can be an important part of healing your relationship with food.
Sam and Meg then go on to chat about inner child work. Meg discusses societal pressures on how we think about food and our bodies begin early in life, not just at home but also in school, and how these pressures can lead to a disconnection from our intuition around food.
In this episode, Sam and Meg also discuss:
- Why dieting can feel like a battlefield
- What inner child work is and how it can be beneficial to nutrition coaching
- How to identify whether you experience disordered eating
- Meg’s top piece of advice for healing your relationship with food
