Reply to "Speaking to living with the intersection of Trauma/Type 2 Diabetes and Disordered Eating: Personal Sharing"

HI Sheri - thank you so much for sharing your healing story! Such important work that you have done and so wonderful that you are able to share it with us.  As many know, Dr Felitti, the originator of the ACE survey started his journey in an obesity program.  If you are interested you can read about his work on ACEs Too High.

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and other ACEs, i too have a complex relationship with food... for me it was comfort (we always had tons of it around) and when i wasn't finding safety or boundaries in my household, i found solace and escape in food (sweets in particular).  I love what you say here and am too trying to do this -  "lean into living more in my body and understanding my own feelings, I focus on staying with what is present, with all of its causes and conditions, knowing that feeling is feeling. It is a compassionate practice and process to master leaning into a kinder and gentler way of being." 

I wanted to be sure you both know about the Practicing Resilience for Self Care and Healing community. And Monica, I want to be sure you know of the Parenting with ACEs community here at ACEs Connection.
