What Safety Might Feel Like in Recovery (It’s Not What You Think)

What if the biggest signs of healing aren’t big at all?

In this episode, Sarah is joined by Laura for a conversation about the micro-moments that might mark recovery from trauma and disordered eating. Together, they unpack five powerful cues that your nervous system is shifting toward safety: like noticing your body, making a small choice, or feeling a flicker of joy without shutting it down.

You’ll hear:

• Why awareness is a milestone, not a “first step”
• How setting the tiniest limit can signal huge change
• Why pleasure often feels threatening before it feels good
• What reconnection really looks like after bingeing, freezing, or shutting down

This is your permission to stop waiting for the “aha” moment—and start honoring the quiet ones.
