Healing Weight: How Trauma Shapes Our Bodies and Minds

I do think it's almost always a psychological issue- losing weight strictly speaking is just a math problem.

Ever wondered why shedding those extra pounds feels like an uphill battle? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Power of the Mind', host Elicia Morigeau teams up with Gregory Struve, MA, LPC, SEP, and owner of Granite Mountain Behavioral Healthcare, to unravel the intricate ties between trauma and weight loss.

They dive deep into how our past traumas can affect our relationship with food, body image, and self-worth, revealing that weight loss isn't just about calories in and out—it's often about healing emotional wounds. Struve shares his insights on how unresolved trauma can manifest in our eating habits and body perceptions. He emphasizes that while weight loss can be boiled down to a mathematical equation, addressing the psychological roots is essential for lasting change.

Through engaging anecdotes and practical advice, this episode offers a fresh perspective on achieving sustainable weight loss. Whether you're struggling with your weight or looking to understand the emotional underpinnings of your eating habits, this conversation provides valuable tools and reflections to help you on your journey.
