114. But Do I Need To Do Inner Child Work?

Embracing your inner child is a concept that you might see coming up when you work on ditching diet culture and embracing a nondiet or intuitive eating approach to disordered eating recovery.

What is this all about? Do we need to do this in order to heal?

This conversation explores:

• What is the inner child?
• Being “too much”
• What is the point of inner child work?
• Where did you first learn your body was “wrong”?
• Stef’s adolescent period of restrictions
• Stef’s three moments of “splitting” at ages 8, 10, and 13
• Sarah’s padded bra
• Overriding original neural pathways
• How do we address our inner child and the stories we carry?
• Sarah’s experience at the Adele candlelit string quartet
• Throwing yourself a temper tantrum
• The body as an inner child
