They explore how trauma impacts food choices and the importance of understanding the nervous system in the context of eating disorders. The conversation emphasizes the need for safety and connection in food relationships, the significance of finding 'glimmers' of safety in daily life, and the release of Meg's upcoming book, which addresses these themes. The episode provides valuable insights for those struggling with their relationship with food and offers practical steps for navigating the challenges of intuitive eating amidst trauma.
