Most of us develop disordered relationships with food because that food serves a purpose; it becomes a coping tool. So when we no longer have it as a way of comforting ourselves, what happens? How do we deal with that vulnerability and the huge gap it leaves in our emotional support system?

• What does the disordered eating help solve?
• Stef finds restriction the bigger gap; for Sarah, it’s the binges.
• How do we make our own cocoons if it’s not with food?
• Stef’s somatic practice for overwhelm
• Depression energy coming up without the ED
• How yoga helped Sarah go “micro” and anchor into something smaller than existential loneliness and lows
• The role of safety in being able to let go of ED behaviors (because we know they work)
• The Burnout Cycle (per authors Nagoski)
• How does Sarah not panic?
• Fear of death (how did we get to that part of this conversation??)
