Reconnecting with Your Body and the Role of Embodiment in Eating Recovery with Ann Saffi Biasetti

Happy Satiated Saturday! 

Have you ever noticed that the strongest memories are the ones where you felt the most presence and embodiment? I will never forget my first yoga class because when I was shaking while holding a plank, I couldn't be anywhere else but in my body. 

At the beginning of your eating recovery, you may feel disconnected and dissociated. Your body has felt like an unsafe place to inhabit. Food has served as a wise strategy to create distance from your body or a micro-moment of feeling alive. Creating safety with food is less about food and more about expanding your capacity to be in your body while you eat, feel, and live. Embodiment is often the missing piece in healing your food coping mechanisms. 

In this week's episode, I chat with Ann Saffi Biasetti, Transpersonal Psychologist and Eating Disorder Expert, about: 

• What embodiment is
• The importance of creating safe and comfortable embodying experiences
• The process of embodiment
• Creating a language for describing body sensations and emotions
• How embodiment can impact food behaviors
• What the ongoing journey of embodiment looks like
