Fat Girl Bookclub podcast is all about body liberation and fat activism. I stand for those things. On this week’s episode with Nadine Russell though, we deviate slightly. The book we read was The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel Van Der Kolk and so a big part of our discussion revolved around trauma. We dive deep into what trauma does to us and what we can do to heal. A few highlights include:
- Nadine’s body image journey
- We talk about our boobs!
- Nadine gives a few body image tips
- How support systems can help us in our journey and how someone who is unsupportive can actually be helpful
- Why Nadine picked this book
- The role of DNA in intergenerational trauma
- The importance of healing our inner child
- Our personal stories of healing modalities like tapping, EMDR, Yoga, distance Reiki healing, meditation, prayer, mindfulness and gratitude
While this is a little different than talking about bodies there is a deeper message in this episode: healing is possible.
