Feeding Dynamics to heal your own relationship with food

03/09/21 • 39 min

Today Katherine is diving in to how the Division of Responsibility feeding dynamics framework can be applied to adults trying to better understand their struggles in their own relationship with food. In feeding dynamics, the parents have certain jobs to do in feeding, and kids have their own jobs in eating. Adults can think of their own behavior in feeding themselves in terms of having both roles to play within themselves. This perspective can be tremendously helpful whether you have kids or not, because we have all been part of a parent child relationship at some point in our lives and have some idea of how this relationship functions, or should function in ideal circumstances. Maybe we have wounds related to our own histories in these relationships, and maybe they have a lot to do with our relationship with food as adults. Regardless, understanding the different roles you play in your task of feeding yourself can help clarify any struggles you might be having and can light the way toward compassion and healing.

If our bodies and needs are changing and fluctuating all the time, how can we have any hope of hitting those nutritional targets? In today's episode, Katherine talks about the role our bodies play in communicating its needs to us, and how we can provide for ourselves and our families to make sure our bodies and our kids are well cared for.
