If you've not seen this article in the Atlantic (two years old) it's worth checking out. The Second Assault: Victims of childhood sexual abuse are far more likely to become obese adults. New research shows that early trauma is so damaging that it can disrupt a person's entire psychology and metabolism.
It's an important discussion you are having and I'd love to learn more as well. Cissy
Thanks @Christine Cissy White for sharing the article. All I can say is WOW! I am in such a tender place right now. I am not overweight, in fact I have lost a lot of weight because of lifestyle changes, however I binge eat a lot. My daughter is 3 now and I think it is a huge trigger for me to childhood trauma. I am not sure, but I am in pain and the catchy part is that I am in my last semester of school for mental health counselor. But how can I help others with my own stuff in the way. I've been wanting to try yoga for some time now.
