It’s a Nervous System Response, with Therapist, Melissa Parks

The Kitchen Table with Alicia Brown

We’re wired for connection, belonging, and love, but conditioning from diet culture can separate us from our true selves and others. Therapist Melissa Parks helps us unpack this message in the episode as we discuss:

✨ Why dieting, isolating, detaching, and dissociating are natural, protective responses of the nervous system to make sense of overwhelm.

✨ How to begin to heal from unmet needs from primary caregivers earlier in life that are showing up as our “food and body stuff” now.

✨ Emotional eating, and why we might exhibit a “dorsal” response to feeling overwhelmed with diet culture or body image thoughts and information.

AND MORE.

This is a *must listen* episode that will open your eyes to how therapy might help you in your own intuitive eating journey.
