In this episode i interviewed Patty Cabot who shared her struggles with weight loss and relationships over the years due to her childhood abuse. Despite being very good with dieting, she suffered with weight fluctuations e.g. gaining 50 - 75 lbs every 2 years. She just couldn't figure out why she couldn't lose and maintain her ideal weight and have a successful romantic relationships, she believed her lack of romance was due to her weight. At the age of 38 tired of going through the same cycle, she went to see a therapist who specializes in eating disorders and began to help her confront her childhood trauma. Her step father was her primary abuser and also was abused by a cousin. Her therapist introduced her to EMDR technique which really helped her re-connect back with herself and helped with her healing journey. Her chiropractor helped her process the fight or flight responses trapped in her body. She was able to lose and maintain her ideal weight after these experiences. Her advice to people who have suffered or are suffering abuse is to speak to a trusted person about it, seek help, therapy and counselling. As a society, we need to de-stigmatize and stop shaming victims of abuse but rather hold space for them to come forward and share their stories or struggles.
