Peace with self, peace with food with Galina Denzel
Nourishment.
We all need it, and yet sometimes our relationship with it is fraught.
So many live with a tangle of thoughts, feelings, conditioned responses, unrealistic expectations, attachment injuries and more around the ways we allow nourishment into our lives. It can be hard to know where to begin to untangle some of the knots that bind us.
In my latest podcast episode, I speak about this with Galina Denzel - a somatic practitioner and author based in Colorado. She helps people who struggle with emotional eating recover and enjoy peace, well-being and authentic connection with themselves and their loved ones. She is the author of Peace with Self Peace with Food - a trauma healing approach for emotional eating.
In our conversation, we dive deep into the intricate relationship between nourishment, body image, and our nervous systems, exploring the barriers to true nourishment, both physically and emotionally, and how attachment, development, and physiology shape our eating behaviors.
As you might know, certain behaviors and experiences can't be changed through thinking alone, and how healing can involve profound physiological shifts, as we support the nervous system in regulation and the attachment system with care. We look at why this is, and how nourishment goes beyond food, touching on boundaries, chronic illness, and even breathing practices that support a deep connection inside and out.
While this episode centers around food and body image, Galina's book and this conversation supports healing around many different types of challenges in our lives. We could call it all: tending to nourishment challenges in mind, body and heart.
This episode will show you a new paradigm emerging in the understanding of nourishment and well-being, and you’ll gain practical insights into how to support yourself and others on this journey toward peace with both self and food.
