In this mini-episode, Jessica and Stefanie discuss the “Move or Soothe” practice, which can help when navigating difficult emotional responses to food and eating—instead of spiraling, do this! They explore the concept of dysregulation in the nervous system and how it affects eating behaviors. Stefanie also provides practical techniques for addressing high energy and freeze responses, explaining what they are and why each response requires either moving or soothing.
