“An unhealthy relationship with food, it’s a mask. It’s covering everything. And we remove that, it’s going to show all of the cracked foundations, and then that’s when the real work begins.”
What if your struggles with food are connected to your relationships and experiences, not a lack of willpower? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Katia Arroyo-Carrion, a licensed clinical psychologist and trauma specialist, to talk about relational trauma and how it can shape your relationship with food and your body. We explore how early relationships, “almond moms,” and diet culture can contribute to food struggles like restriction, emotional eating, and binge eating. Dr. Katia also shares how to reframe these behaviors as coping tools rather than personal failures, approach shame with more compassion, and find the right support to begin healing your relationship with food.
