Carmen Cool, Psychotherapist is on the show talking about how to move past the "rebellious streak" that happens when we stop dieting, how to care for ourselves during political turmoil and more. In this episode, we chat about: - How Carmen overcame an eating disorder and found health at every size and fat acceptance, - The importance of weaving fat politics into her work with clients, - The practices that Carmen uses to help others unpack internalized fatphobia and weight stigma, - How to manage/process feelings that come up with recent political events, - The importance of self-care and how to manage that when you feel guilty for taking a pause from everything happening in the world, - How tapping into our "rebellious side" during healing can lead to freedom, but also keep us stuck, - What to do if you feel you are bouncing between compliance and rebellion (all or nothing anti-diet thinking), - Why attunement goes far beyond our food needs, Plus, so much more!
