Why Aren't My Somatic Practices Working to Stop Binge Eating?

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Somatic practices have become a buzzword as the new supplement you can take to “calm” yourself down, to shake off a trauma response, and maybe not binge eat. 

They can feel alluring. When you’re struggling with food, you just want an answer. There can be panic and desperation at willing to try anything to make sure you won’t binge again. You may find yourself trying to shake, or tap, or dunk your face in ice-cold water. This may feel calming for a few minutes and then you watch yourself walk into the kitchen and grab food.

Gah! So frustrating!

In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat about: 

• The purpose of somatic practices
• Questions to ask yourself to choosing a somatic practice
• The difference between fixing and friending 
• Bodily feedback to look out for when a somatic practice resonates
