ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This is actually a pretty wild story.
During my first year in my PhD, a woman reached out to me through the contact form on my website and was like, "Hey, we're doing similar work! I would love to connect."
I starred the email as something I needed to follow up on and then it got completely buried in my inbox. Then, several months later, one of my teachers emailed me and said, "Did you see this dissertation defense coming up? It is on binge eating."
I immediately marked it in my calendar as something I had to attend. I arrived at the Zoom dissertation defense and as soon as I see this woman's name I was like, "Why is this person's name sound so familiar?"
I sneak off into my inbox and look up her name and lo and behold, it was the same person who emailed me a few months prior. Honestly, I initially felt mortified I had not followed up with her sooner, but I immediately emailed her after the defense was over.
We scheduled a Zoom chat and it was amazing how much we had in common. We come from a similar lens that binge eating recovery needs a body-based approach. It is the body and experiencing it internally and externally that is missing from most recovery modalities.
In this week's episode, I chat with Dr. Kristina Dobyns, PhD, MS, Registered Somatic Movement Therapist, certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, and certified Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention facilitator, about:
- What worked and didn't work in Kristina's binge eating recovery journey
- What she discovered in her research on binge eating
- The importance of building somatic awareness and interoception
- The role of sensory strategies
- Utilizing nutrition as a part of binge eating recovery
- Challenging conventional recovery approaches
