April 08, 2024 Q&A with Sabrina
Join me and Sabrina as we dive into answering listeners' questions related to intuitive eating and recovering from disordered eating. We dive deep into topics like overcoming food rules and guilt, understanding your body's set point weight, finding balance with food and movement, and dealing with the fear of not knowing where your weight will settle. Listeners can expect to gain more clarity and tools for building a healthier relationship with food.

Key Quotes
"When you keep allowing the candy with as much quantity as you want to eat it, you will start to be less obsessed with it." (00:44:44)
"Living a normal life around food, particularly, is stopping with all the rules." (00:47:04)
"If the fear of that is also a 9 out of 10, you need a qualified coach or someone who can support you through this to ask you the right questions." (00:49:59)

Main Discussion Points
- Allowing yourself to eat feared or restricted foods can help eliminate obsession and restriction around them
- Recovering from disordered eating requires letting go of food rules and learning to trust your body's innate wisdom
- Seeking support can help face fears of changing engrained behaviours and stepping into the unknown
- There are many layers behind guilt and shame tied to food that are important to explore
- Balance with food and movement arises naturally when you nourish yourself without rules
- Understanding family history around size can provide clues but your body will find its healthy set point over time

March 25, 2024 Learn to let go of pain with Ella Matthews
Intro:
Victoria Kleinsman interviews chronic pain and trauma specialist Ella Matthews about how emotional and physical trauma can get stored in the body, leading to conditions like chronic pain. They discuss modalities like somatic experiencing, cognitive hypnotherapy, and trauma-release exercises to help people heal. Ella shares how changing self-talk and cultivating self-compassion can change our nervous system's perception of danger.

Key Discussion Points:

- The role of feeling safe and social connection in trauma healing (00:30:09)
- How changing judgmental self-talk can change pain perception (00:47:32)

February 19, 2024 OCD & Eating disorders
In this episode, Victoria discusses the connection between eating disorders and OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). She shares her personal experience with OCD behaviors prior to and during her eating disorder, as well as common rituals and thought patterns those with eating disorders and OCD tend to have.
Victoria then provides tips for overcoming OCED (obsessive-compulsive eating disorder) behaviors, including wanting recovery more than engaging in behaviors, facing fears and anxiety, doing the opposite of what the ED wants, having accountability and support, and more.

- Worsening of OCD with the eating disorder (strict rituals around food/exercise, checking behaviors)
- OCD and eating disorders stem from fear and a false sense of security
- Starvation increasing OCD behaviors
- Steps for overcoming OCED:
1. Wanting recovery more than behaviors
2. Facing fears and sitting with anxiety
3. Doing the opposite of ED urges
4. Taking up a hobby as a distraction
5. Having accountability
6. Getting support
7. Using discipline to rewire behaviors
- Creating rituals to support recovery instead of ED rituals
- Noticing OCD behaviors start to fade with recovery
Key Quotes:
"When I realized that I wanted to stop the eating disorder, I wanted to stop the eating disorder OCD bullshit that was completely taking over my entire life, taking up all of my head space...that's when things started to shift for me." (00:19:33)
"You train your brain via your behavior. So why not train your brain that it is safe to be in the environment you're in?" (00:28:58)
