  • Binge Eating, Dissociation & Trauma with Sandi James

    In this episode, we sit down with Sandi James, a registered psychologist, certified eating disorder recovery coach, and lived-experience clinician with over 15 years in mental health and trauma recovery.

    Together, we explore the often-overlooked world of binge eating disorder, its deep connection with dissociation, and the innovative, person-centered approaches Sandi uses to help clients who feel let down by traditional treatment methods.

    Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:


    Why Binge Eating Disorder Is Underdiagnosed:

    Discover how shame, stigma, and medical bias contribute to the lack of recognition and treatment for BED.


    The Role of Dissociation in Binge Eating:

    Learn how dissociation disconnects individuals from their behaviors—and what can be done to break this pattern.


    The Power of a Personalized Approach:

    Why a one-size-fits-all treatment model often fails, and how Sandi's harm-reduction methods meet clients where they are.


    Joyful Movement & Creative Healing:

    From surfing to art therapy, find out how incorporating fun, engaging activities can ground the mind and support recovery.


    Practical Tips for Staying Present:

    Sandi shares actionable tools to help prevent dissociation and build resilience against binge episodes.


    If you or someone you know has struggled with binge eating, trauma, or feeling disconnected from their body, this episode offers compassionate, insightful guidance—and a message of hope.

  • Understanding Food Addiction – The Science of Dopamine, Tolerance, and Reinforcement

    In this video, we delve into the fascinating science behind food addiction—why it happens, how it affects your brain, and, most importantly, how you can break free. Food addiction isn’t a matter of willpower; it's rooted in your brain's reward system, driven by dopamine, tolerance, and reinforcement patterns.

    Here’s what we’ll cover:

    Dopamine & Cravings: Why processed foods trigger massive dopamine surges and how this leads to compulsive eating.


    Tolerance Development: How your brain adapts to constant stimulation, causing you to eat more while enjoying it less.


    Positive vs. Negative Reinforcement: Understanding the shift from eating for pleasure to eating just to feel "normal."


    The Four Stages of Food Addiction: From casual indulgence to loss of control—and the steps you can take to stop the cycle.


    Breaking the Cycle: Practical strategies to reset your brain’s reward system and regain control over your food choices.


    If you've ever felt powerless over your eating habits, this video will help you understand why—and show you a path forward. Recovery is possible with the right knowledge, strategies, and support.

    In today’s video, we explore 3 proprioceptive strategies to manage the urges of binge eating, particularly useful when you feel disconnected from your body.

    Proprioception, or your sense of body awareness, can be a powerful ally in regaining control during moments of dissociation linked to compulsive eating.

    Here’s what we’ll cover:


    Understanding Proprioception: Discover how this critical sense of bodily awareness aids in grounding and spatial orientation.


    Disrupting Dissociation: Techniques to ground yourself in the present and counter the floating away sensation that is often associated with binge eating.


    Simple and Effective Strategies: Learn about somer of my favorite proprioceptive strategies- body tapping, shaking, and scorpion.


    Building Resilience and Control: Each practice not only helps manage the immediate urge but also strengthens long-term resilience against compulsions.


    If you’ve ever felt powerless against binge eating or find yourself seeking a more embodied approach to manage cravings, this video is for you.
