Why Learning To Be With Grief is Crucial for Trauma Recovery with Syanna Wand

Satiated Podcast

​I remember the very slow realization as I started to embody my binges that food was never going to give me what I was looking for.

It felt crushing to face.

I'd been utilizing food as a way to try to help myself feel better, safer, more grounded and I felt so much grief that this strategy was never going to work.

Over the years in private practice, I noticed almost every single person I worked with experience this moment of deep grief.

I now have a term for this called Food Grief. Food recovery is a process of saying goodbye to strategies that worked as a child and no longer work now as an adult.

Grieving any food coping mechanism is feeling the body unlearning an old survival pattern. Food Grief is your body reorienting to the present and that you no longer need to protect yourself like you did in the past.

In this week's episode, I chat with Syanna Wand, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and founder of Interpersonal Embodied Healing about:

• Understanding grief in healing
• The somatic concept of armoring
• Navigating grief and relief
• The importance of resourcing yourself
• Building capacity to be with your emotions
• Generational grief
• Embracing grief and creating a relationship with it
