ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this week's episode, Meg  delves into the intricate connection between trauma responses and eating disorders. She explores the various instinctive reactions to stress – fighting, fleeing, freezing, or fawning – and how our autonomic nervous system takes control, driven by diverse life experiences and genetic factors. Meg emphasizes how these responses are rooted in our ancient survival mechanisms, discussing the parallels between anxiety and our body's need for nourishment. Throughout the episode, she breaks down the four stress responses and their manifestations in eating disorders.
