In this episode, I explore the transformative power of co-regulation and why it might be the missing piece in your journey to freedom from binge eating. I'll share what happens in your brain and body when you connect with someone safe, why isolation often triggers binge behaviors, and how to find sources of co-regulation even when human connection feels risky. I open up about my personal story of finally sharing my binge eating struggles with my husband after years of suffering in silence and explain why gentleness - not harshness - is the path to lasting change.
