Let's Talk About...Episode 98: Let's Talk About...Connecting to Your Body’s Hunger and Fullness Cues


Listen Later

On the last podcast, we talked about "blocking parts." And by blocking, I meant parts that tend to come up when you’re trying to get to know another part. Like when you’re headed for the kitchen and a part of you says, "I should get to know the part that’s leading me to the kitchen right now" but another part comes up and says, "Nope!  I don’t want to get to know that part. I’ll do it next time."  I hope that the episode was helpful and that you noticed more of those parts over the past couple of weeks.

This week, I thought it would be helpful to focus on another group or cluster of parts that many folx have that I’m calling "disconnecting parts."  These are parts that disconnect you from your body for various reasons.  They can show up in various ways, such as:  

  • Not feeling hunger or fullness cues
  • Not noticing physical cues from your body
  • Having difficulty knowing where parts are within your body
  • Difficulty or reluctance to focus on physical self-care
  • Inability to experience enjoyment or pleasure

Those are just a few examples.  You may be noticing other ways in which parts may disconnect you from your body.  If that's the case, just be curious.  Disconnecting parts tend to be protectors who for whatever reason feel the need to separate us from what our body is telling us.  They're trying to help us.

On this week's podcast, we're focusing on the parts that disconnect us from our body and make it difficult to connect with hunger and fullness cues.  We're focusing on:

  • What disconnecting parts are
  • Why they're there
  • How they show up and block hunger and fullness cues
  • What to do about them

AND

I'm sharing some suggestions from Intuitive Eating that can help you connect to your body even more.  We go through four exercises from the Intuitive Eating Workbook that help you to tune into your body as well as your hunger and fullness cues.

If you're someone who feels as though you're unable to read your body's cues, you may have some disconnecting parts in your system. Take a listen to find out!
