The “fix you” is really in invisible quotation marks because I do not believe that anyone is ever broken. But often we believe we are, and then we run around trying desperately to fix ourselves, and one of those things that we latch on to can end up being food.
I got into cleansing and detoxing not because I wanted what was best for my body and mind, but because I was looking for the quick fix. I wanted to fix my body and my life, both of which felt like they had gone off the rails.
Food is wonderful and medicinal, but it will never be everything. It will never replace the necessity of expression, of a well regulated nervous system, of fun. For a long time I refused to believe this because facing the deeper rooted problems felt too big and scary. The most nutritional meal plan in the world couldn’t fix the well of loneliness and the feelings of being lost and unworthy and that I’d really messed everything up.
Often we don’t even know what the real problems are, we just know that we’re stuck in a fight, flight or freeze response and we don’t know how to get out and everything feels overwhelming and too much.
If this resonates and you would like some extra support, I have two 1:1 spots open right now to work together.
