The Out of the Cave Podcast

Learning from Being Uncomfortable with Amanda


Listen Later

As a child of divorce with an alcoholic father and an abusive mother, Amanda used food from an early age to find the comfort that her home life lacked. Chronic back pain eventually became intense enough that she was taking multiple days off in a row from work and led her to discover John Sarno and Nicole Sachs in the world of TMS study and recovery.


Topics include:

[2:39] The first decade or so of Amanda’s life. Realizing as an adult that your childhood wasn’t as “normal” as you thought it was and that you can now see how food became a source of safety and comfort for you.

[9:24] Becoming aware of her body in high school, growing curves, marriage and pregnancy, feeling like she wasn’t good enough as she gained weight over time. Digestive issues led her to attempt various elimination diets to identify the source.

[19:18] Back pain was forcing her to take weeks off from work but her insurance denied a claim for surgery. She discovered Dr. Sarno’s work on TMS and the work of Nicole Sachs and began the long journey of healing herself.

[31:52] Once the back pain was gone, Amanda was ready to work on the accompanying food issues and turned to Lisa. Working one on one as well as in the group, the differences between the two and the biggest lessons she took away from them.

[38:22] Examining your reasons for doing something, identifying predators and fear in your life. Honoring your journey, allowing yourself to be uncomfortable.

[51:33] Expressing yourself through various media, feeling things that are uncomfortable and learning how the brain tries to protect you from that. The magic of community and connection on the healing journey.
