Post traumatic growth is possible after diet culture. Learn how to move beyond anger and into a richer life using the Beyond The Food Method.

In this episode, I'm sharing a concept that has the power to completely change what you believe is possible after leaving diet culture behind. Post-traumatic growth is real, it's backed by psychology, and for some people — it's the missing piece.

I'll walk you through what it actually looks like, why it doesn't happen for everyone, and what conditions have to exist for it to become possible. This one is for the woman on her personal journey and the health professional leading others through this work.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What post-traumatic growth is and where the psychological theory comes from
• Why some women get stuck in the anger stage of diet culture unlearning and never move beyond it
• Five real-life areas where post-traumatic growth shows up beyond food and body
• The specific tools that create the conditions for post-traumatic growth in your clients
• Two reflection questions that will shift how you use your diet culture experience going forward

When your client hits a wall in body image healing, it is not a sign something went wrong. It is a sign you are doing the work right.

In this Coach Corner episode, I answer a question I get more than almost any other. A practitioner has done everything correctly with her client. Intuitive eating. Body image tools. Mirror work. Six weeks of solid sessions. And now she is stuck.

I explain exactly what is happening and what to do next.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why "hitting a wall" with a client is actually a sign of progress, not failure
• What the Model Behind the Model is and how to use it at every layer of client stagnation
• The question you need to ask your client about her body that she has likely never asked herself
• How the Six Layers of Why tool moves clients from personal blame to systemic understanding
• Why this work has very little to do with food and everything to do with power, patriarchy, and social conditioning
