Why You're Afraid of Feeling Hungry

Satiated Podcast

Happy Satiated Saturday!

When you're feeling threatened in your body, hunger and fullness cues can feel wonky and also frightening.

Hunger can come out of nowhere and remind you how little control you may feel in your life right now. The felt sense of hunger can be similar to past experiences you've had that left you feeling unsafe.

The empty feeling may remind you of being abandoned as a child and the hurt and pain of not feeling held the way you needed to be. If you ignore hunger, you can also ignore the pain that hunger reminds you of.

In this week's episode, I chat about:

• The somatic and cognitive influences on hunger
• How the felt sense of hunger gets paired with danger
• Somatic practices to update your body's hunger story

You can also read the transcript to this week’s episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/why-youre-afraid-of-feeling-hungry

If you're looking for support to update your body's story of hunger, come join the Somatic Eating® Program. We start on May 22nd and spend three months together, where you will learn the language of your body and how it is speaking to you through your food impulses.

Your food behaviors have never been the "problem," they have always been the answer. You will discover what your food patterns have been answering for you and how to meet the call in food and non-food ways. Go to somaticeating.com to learn more and sign up today!

With Compassion and Empathy,
