Anxiety, from a nervous system perspective, is when your body perceives a threat (either real or imagined).
There are days where there's a lot of anxiety living in my nervous system. I'm perfectly safe but things are changing, I'm holding a lot, and change feels very scary for our nervous systems that are designed for our survival.
🧠 To our nervous systems, change = unknown = dangerous.
For the longest time I knew nothing about what was actually going on in my nervous system, and I also didn't know how to handle uncomfortable emotions.
→ So I would eat. I knew no other way to feel relief.
I would eat in a fog, completely disconnected and not really tasting the food. It would provide temporary comfort, but when it was over, I felt so much regret.
I thought I was weak, undisciplined, that there was something wrong with me. Because no matter how many times I told myself that "I will never do this again"... the cycle repeated itself.
And if you've been stuck in that cycle - hear me on this : there's nothing wrong with you. You were just never given the tools that you actually needed.
Nobody taught you that eating was just your nervous system's way of finding safety - the only way it knew how. Nobody showed you how to actually work with what's happening underneath.
And you will see that things will really start changing when you start working at the root.
I released a free 3-part mini-course that breaks down how your nervous system is the key to healing your relationship with food.
