  • How shame causes us to control food w/ therapist @Noor_pinna

    "Shame is this prison that you stay in because it's so comfortable even though it's so horrible, because you don't know how to free yourself."

    Noor Pinna, Therapist

    Noor Pinna is a Mental Health therapist turned Transformative mindset coach. She helps women heal from inner child wounds, shame, and create confidence for self compassion. She migrated from Pakistan to the US and is passionate about helping you unblock the barriers to your dreams and take away the shame that holds you back.

    In this episode, we talk about:

    • When shame is so unbearable, we gravitate towards what we can control (food, body, etc)
    • Good and bad coping – it's just you trying to take care of yourself the only you know how in that moment
    • Shame as an immigrant/child of immigrants
    • You're ok when you decide you're ok
    • Feeling worthy of being healed

    No one is judging me but me.

    Noor Pinna, Therapist

    You can find more of Noor on IG @noor_pinna and her Facebook group Resilient Mindset and her website https://www.noorpinnacoaching.com/.

  • You WANT to accept your body but JUST CAN'T right now

    You don't have to ACCEPT your body the moment your mind tells you to accept. It takes time and that's ok.

    I live in a small body and can't imagine being in a bigger body and having to remind myself to accept, love, appreciate my body day in and day out.

    In this episode I talk about:

    • body image ebbs and flows
    • 51 times, you may forget or think positively about your body and 49 times, it causes pain. That's progress!
    • surround yourself with people who see you as beautiful, successful, amazing
    • unfollow people that make you feel bad (me included, no offense taken)
    • create a world around you that serves you
    • don't let your body deter you from doing anything in life
    • people that give bodies too much attention, cut them out

    You've already taken the hardest step which is just having the thought of wanting to accept your body, kudos!!

  • What every therapist needs to know about clients who struggle with food - From an intuitive eating dietitian

    If you're a therapist and have clients that have a stressful relationship with food (overeating, binge behavior, disordered eating patterns), ever wonder WHAT'S HAPPENING? This episode covers why they may be feeling this way and what an intuitive eating dietitian does to support them.

    And if you have a therapist right now who doesn't quite understand how you're feeling or your interest in intuitive eating work, this is the episode to send them.

    In this episode I talk about:

    • why there may be a fixation on the body
    • the role of emotions, connection, belonging, trauma, control
    • what overeating/binges feel like
    • guilt vs binge eating
    • overeating/binge as a compensatory mechanism
    • food/sugar addiction, is it real?
    • the effects of food restriction/dieting in childhood and adulthood
    • why clients seek out intuitive eating
    • what an intuitive eating dietitian does in sessions (neutralize food, exposure therapy, body image, values based approach, interoceptive signals, hunger/fullness, how to address emotional needs without food)
    • the journey towards becoming a normal eater again
    • opportunities for therapists and dietitians to collab i.e. trauma-informed care, shifting limiting beliefs
