The Season of Hurt vs. The Season of Healing

In this episode, I explore the limitations of using restrictive food rules to combat emotional eating patterns. While it may seem like a quick fix to turn to food as a solution for emotional problems, it often fails to address the root cause of the issue. By recognizing these behaviors without self-judgment, we can begin to understand the patterns and scripts our brains are conditioned to follow. When feeling anxious, it's common to turn to comfort foods like chocolate for relief. While eating may temporarily alleviate these feelings, it doesn't address the underlying emotional distress. Stress, anxiety, boredom, loneliness, sadness, or fatigue cannot be permanently fixed by food alone.

Realizing what your human needs are is a total game-changer. It's what I talk about in my program's 3rd principle. Back when I didn't even know what 'needs' meant, I'd just push mine aside and focus on everyone else. But here's the kicker: that whole cycle of neglecting our own needs? It's a trap. We may not realize how we've suffered by neglecting our needs as we try to understand why we self-sabotage ourselves on a daily basis. But when your sense of self is built upon a system of survival and your personality is shaped by trauma responses, all while trying to obtain something you've never had and don't know how to get, it's one of the most helpless states to be in. Let me tell you, I used to have no clue what I even needed. And surprise, surprise, I ended up with partners who couldn't meet those invisible needs either. It's like we're playing this weird game of emotional hide-and-seek without even knowing the rules! Think back to when you were a kid—what did you really crave? Or what didn’t you have that you've now normalized as non-existence? Maybe it was love, or just feeling safe and cared for. Those unmet needs often shape how we act as grown-ups. Maybe you're always putting others first, forgetting about yourself in the process. Crazy thing is, we can still get our needs met, but sometimes it's in counterproductive ways like people-pleasing. But hey, that's where my latest podcast comes in. Well, my latest podcast dives deep into this stuff. It's not just a chat—it's a game-changer. Trust me, it'll make you rethink how you look at yourself and those around you.

In my podcast, "Trauma Responses: How Your Brain/Body Creates Safety Strategies," I explore a fresh perspective on trauma. Picture this: you're in a car accident, no ambulance in sight, and you're left with a concussion and broken arms. There's no help, no explanations, and no tow truck for your damaged car. You face a choice: abandon your car or keep driving it as is. This scenario parallels moments in life when we experience emotional acceints like heartbreak, conflict, or abandonment. We move forward without support, no emotional "cast" or support, therapy, and no structured recovery plan. We adapt to the emotional wounds caused by these experiences. Just like the car accident, we can't change the past, but what truly matters is what we do next, addressing and nurturing our healing journey.   @coachkate1      ______________________________________________________________________________________ Sponser:  Experience Virtual Regenerative Medicine, dedicated to optimizing your health with Mission Med+.

In this episode of "KHP 184 - All-or-Nothing Thinking Trap: Finding Balance in Life," I dive deep into the pervasive cognitive distortion that has affected us all at some point: all-or-nothing thinking. Life's complexities can often seem reduced to two extreme choices, leaving no room for middle ground. I explore how this thinking pattern, also known as black-and-white thinking, can hinder personal growth and well-being. The podcast sheds light on the strong connection between all-or-nothing thinking and perfectionism, a pursuit of perfection that can lead to stress, anxiety, and procrastination. Moreover, I discuss the impact on mental health, emphasizing how this pattern can take a toll on our well-being. But the good news is that with awareness and practice, we can break free from this mental trap. I explore strategies to challenge this distortion, embrace imperfection, and practice mindfulness. Tune in to discover how recognizing and addressing all-or-nothing thinking can lead to a more balanced and resilient mindset.     Experience Virtual Regenerative Medicine, dedicated to optimizing your health with Mission Med+.
