In The Circle

32. Can I Rise Above Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphia Brought On By Sexual Abuse?


Listen Later

On this episode of In The Circle, I address a deep and personal question from Annesa—Can I recover from a lifelong struggle with food and body dysmorphia resulting from sexual abuse? This inquiry sheds light on the intricate relationship between trauma, self-view, and the longing for healing in a society where many women undergo sexual assault. 

For us to discover true healing, we need to confront and question our deep-seated identities and beliefs and reconnect with our emotional and spiritual essence. Practicing techniques like Kundalini Yoga and mindfulness can play a huge part in helping us achieve our ultimate goal of peace and freedom. 

We need to strive daily to discover our truths, discard detrimental self-beliefs, and embrace self-love and acceptance, especially when confronted with societal challenges and personal traumas. Not only does this guide us to experience true healing and recovery, but it also extends a beacon of hope to those on a similar healing journey.
