If you've been here for a while, you may have noticed that I'm a big fan of parts work. Knowing what part of you is telling you to eat, not eat, eat something specific can be empowering.
Rather than feeling like you're lacking willpower or out of control, you can start to understand your food impulses as communication from a younger part of you that is trying to support you.
This is where you can bring in curiosity about how old do you feel when you binge eat? When you skip a meal? When you’re trying to lose weight? And the part of you giving you these food or body image impulses, how old do they think you are?
In this week's episode, I chat with Megan Darnell, Internal Family Systems practitioner, women's coach and host of The Self Led Woman podcast, about:
- Applying Internal Family Systems to food and body image recovery
- Understanding your parts as protectors
- Working with your parts in the cycle of binge eating
- Interacting with your inner critic and inner child
- Practical steps to start utilizing parts work in your relationship with food
