Tips and tools are available on my web pages at Ways of the Wise Woman.com; and on FaceBook: Kathy Welter; You don't heal this all at once, but in small significant steps - eventually you get there. This weeks show we talk about the family and how family values can often set the kids up for power and control dramas. We'll talk about how to avoid these, and set up food as fuel - and nothing else. This week we touch on the benefits of meditation, guided visualizations, and hypnosis. And of course, contact me, I'm here. 604-421-1722 welterk@shaw.ca
Chasing Hunger
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Health and Wellness Channel
One in three people knows someone suffering with an eating disorder. Chasing Hunger unravels the struggles of these issues offering real tools you can use to help reclaim your life from eating disorders.
What can I eat? Will I gain weight? What about anxiety? I can’t sleep. I’m having panic attacks and I’m bloated all the time. What about junk sugar and junk foods? I feel ashamed, I feel guilty.
These and many more behavior patterns are linked to eating disorders, along with beliefs and values that are often sacrificed in the secretive drive for thinness.
The ability to build new resources that support optimal self-care and self-love is a pre-requisite for lasting recovery, built on gratitude and forgiveness. Join us.
