Healing From Abuse & Trauma - Victim 2 Victor

Do you find that you tend to turn to food whenever you are feeling down? Emotional eating can be triggered by past trauma as it is a way for us to escape from and redirect any negative thought back to an area of positivity. Emotional eaters don’t tend to function well in the present as they are still living their past traumas.

Many trauma victims may rely on food to play out the role of the abuser by forcing food down their throat which imitates perpetuating harm to the body and the victim role is represented as the helpless role of receiving the abuse. This allows the victim to maintain the recurrent events of the trauma whilst also enabling themselves to dissociate, distract and then to soothe the pain through their food obsession.

In this podcast episode, I will be sharing by own experiences as well as some tips on how to control emotional eating.

The importance of a social support system for domestic abuse survivors

Send us a text

Women who experience intimate partner violence are more likely to suffer from mental health issues. It is common for women to become secluded and to not want to socialise anymore as they feel they are under the control of their partner. They fear any form of contact with others in case it comes out that they are being abused, which would then lead to even more abuse and can even result in death.
Social support systems have been clinically proven to be vital in fostering resilience amongst abused women and includes social connectedness, social networking and supportive communities.
In this podcast episode, I will discuss the importance of a social support system if you are suffering from domestic abuse. Please understand that help is available and I ask that you reach out to me at: [email protected]. I will be able to guide you through how you can overcome the abuse and to get out and get help.

Resetting Your Limiting Beliefs for a life of Abundance

Send us a text

In this podcast episode, I will be discussing one of my favourite Neuro-linguistic techniques of all time and one which I learnt at Tony Robbins ‘Unleash the Power Within’ event. It is a decision-making technique which gives instant results and I used this to reset my limiting beliefs about myself, this technique is called ‘The Dickens Process’.

The essence of this technique is based on “Scrooge” and it shows the future that could be if he does not change his selfish ways. In this process, we use our conscious mind to visualise both paths - the path of destruction and the path to enlightenment.

With the powerful emotion in the words that you use, it is easy to know which route you should choose and this process attaches the negative and positive feelings to both paths.

What the process proves is that with a real emotional connection, we are more likely to succeed. I used this process to reset my beliefs about myself from feelings of unworthiness and of lacking self-esteem to those of self-love and empowerment. This process changed my life and it will change yours too.
