In episode 251 of the Weight Loss Winformation Podcast I introduced the topic of Big T and Little T trauma to you and shared how the effects of trauma are long-lasting and can interfere with people’s ability to follow through with goals for weight loss (and many other things). I was asked to do a follow-up episode giving suggestions for how to deal with trauma responses when they occur in daily life… in part so that you don’t resort to the familiar but unhealthy coping skill of using food to feel better! This episode is the follow-up in which I share tools for using when your trauma responses like anxiety, anger, and defensiveness threaten to get the best of you!

The Weight Loss Winformation Podcast gives you essential psychological information to help you lose weight and more importantly, to help keep you at a healthy weight for your body! No matter how you are working to lose weight and no matter how much weight you want to lose, Weight Loss Winformation will keep you moving in a positive direction. Let’s get started because well… Why Weight? (get it? Pun intended… )?
