Spiral with guest Susan Budding

The recovery process is not linear, but rather like a spiral. As we begin our journey of recovery around the spiral, we will meet many layers of life experiences that trigger disordered eating and body hatred behaviors. Even though we are once again doing these same behaviors we are not at the same starting point in the spiral. As we take each experience and use it as a building block in our healing, we move ourselves along the spiral. When we are consciously working on our recovery, every experience teaches us, giving us more strength and wisdom. Eventually we develop more effective coping tools to deal with these life experiences and the disordered eating and body hatred behaviors are no longer necessary.

Compassion is the necessary foundation for all healing. When we can have compassion for the parts of ourselves that we dislike the most, we can let go of the debilitating shame and self-hatred we have carried for so long, and use our compassion to bring love, understanding, and then, if necessary, change.

“This podcast is about creativity and how we use it to get out of our obsession minds and get into our hearts and souls.

Creativity is the outward manifestation of who we truly are as spiritual beings. It is the magical ability to create something out of nothing that is uniquely ours. It is the gift in being able to imagine, to dream, and then to make those dreams come true. Creative expression is essential to feeding our souls. It forces us to go beneath the obsession of food and weight and access the part of ourselves that passionately hungers for self-expression. “

This show is about Feelings. They are the emotions that come from the core of our being that are an essential part of knowing our needs and taking care of ourselves. Our feelings tell us when we are hurt, when we need to stop or set a boundary, what makes us happy, and what feeds our soul. When we can learn op go beneath the body hatred and diet thoughts and experience our feelings fully, we can begin to take back our ability to live fully.

Trust is the knowing that our bodies are living intelligences, giving us immediate feedback about what does and doesn’t work for us. When we stop viewing our bodies as something we need to control and manipulate, we can begin seeing them as very wise teachers. When we start to trust our bodies, we can listen and understand what they need.

Today we look at how complex our relationship to food, body size and sexuality are. By exploring the link between negative body image and sexual shame, we can begin to respect and love our own unique beauty and then hold our bodies and sexuality as sacred. We can then reclaim our sexuality for ourselves as the pure, precious and honorable force it is.

Todays Program is reparenting which is the action of taking care of the small child within all of us who has feelings and needs. Many times the pain beneath the struggle with food and weight is linked to emotional needs that weren’t met when we were children. This is understandable since it is impossible for a parent to meet every emotional need a child experiences. However, as an adult we can learn to meet our own needs and be our own parent. We do this by being compassionate, loving, attentive and responsible to ourselves.

This show is about Body Wisdom and the inherent wisdom we each hold within our own bodies that tells us what we need physically, emotionally and spiritually. When we listen to the wisdom of our bodies, we intuitively know how to feed ourselves, satisfy our needs and accept our natural bodies.

Today's guest Ashley Gallagher

Today we will talk about trusting the process. Recovery from body hatred and disordered eating provides many layers of learning that unfolds uniquely and spontaneously. “Trusting the process” means that we all work through these experiences and issues at our own pace and in our own way. We can trust that our process is exactly right for us and we don’t have to waste precious time comparing ourselves to others.

In this program I will explain the Body Love Cards and how to use them as well as talk about miracles. In any recovery there is always the choice either to embrace the miracles, take part in them or to step around and deny them. As we open our hearts to our recovery and let it guide and teach us, we receive the many gifts. We develop compassion for ourselves and for others, we create a healthier relationship with our mind, body and spirit, we free ourselves from the oppression of self-hatred and limited self-perceptions and most simply love ourselves.
