Restricting and bingeing (and the spectrum of these behaviors) can be attempts to numb our emotional experience. This episode looks at different ways of numbing and how Sarah & Stef experienced using food as an escape. We cover:
- Numbing via eating and numbing via restriction
- Do binges make us “not feel” or feel more?
- Stef’s recollection of numbing in London circa 2000
- The feeling that tomorrow it will be different.
- Connection to break the numbing cycle
- Somatic practices, embodiment, checking in with the body
- Difficulty with empty time, in the gaps of life
- Numbing doesn’t exist in a vacuum; food can numb AND do other things like provide comfort, soothe boredom, etc
- Low level existential blah
- How did Sarah and Stef stop needing to numb so much?
