This week, we’re joined by Dr Ann Saffi Biasetti to talk about somatic compassion and what it means to build a relationship with your body, both in recovery and beyond.
We get into what happens when you know something intellectually, but still feel completely different about (and differently in) your physical self. Dr Ann also talks through some common themes we see in our work as coaches: grief, the fear of not liking your recovered appearance, some of the ways loved ones can make things harder without meaning to — and why recovery doesn’t have to mean loving the way your body looks.
Topics covered:
What “your body never meant you any harm” really means
The gap between knowing and feeling
Moving away from fighting the body
Fear of not liking your recovered appearance
How somatic work can aid eating disorder recovery
A simple somatic practice for difficult moments
How support can unintentionally reinforce ED fears
Making space for grief in recovery
Beginning to relate to your body differently
