Episode 164: Returning to our innate body wisdom with food in adulthood

The Aware Parenting Podcast

Welcome back after the festive season! This episode is informed by Aware Parenting, but includes a lot of The Marion Method in terms of our reparenting and reculturing journey. I talk about what may be getting in the way of our deep connection with our innate body wisdom in relation to food: Our thoughts and beliefs and understanding about food and eating; Needs we may be meeting with food; Ways we might be suppressing or dissociating with food. I share about why judging ourselves and coercing ourselves to 'give up' certain foods often backfires, and what we can do instead, for example when we notice ourselves eating or drinking to suppress feelings. I offer some practical suggestions, and how replacing self-judgment with compassion and coercion with willingness can make a profound difference in our relationship with food. My new book, 'I'm Here and I'm Listening' is coming out very soon and includes a big chapter on food and eating in parenting and reparenting! I still have a couple of mentoring sessions left.
