Time: 35:13

Play

Heather talks with Dr. Aimie Apiagan, MD, MS, MPH, a medical doctor who has committed her life's work to studying how trauma impacts our physical bodies. In today's show, Dr. Aimie shares her own experiences with trauma, revealing patterns of disordered eating and the connection between trauma and how our bodies respond. Dr. Aimie offers a helpful and understandable definition for trauma as experiences that overwhelm us. She discusses how often we store these experiences away for future review yet never get back to processing it and the toll this "storing" of the traumas has on our bodies. Throughout the conversation, the hosts stress the importance of understanding and healing trauma, particularly for individuals struggling with body image issues.

Also covered in this episode:*Why women may turn to over-exercising or specifically to running when there is unprocessed trauma.

*How Dr. Aimie sees how she used food in childhood to cover for her traumatic experiences she couldn't recognize or understand.

*Why talk therapy alone is not enough to fully heal trauma.

*How health symptoms can sometimes be related to unprocessed or stored trauma.

*Why many people believe they're just battling stress but they could be battling stored trauma.

Description

**The Go-to Podcast for Christian women who want to improve their body image and stop comparing themselves to others!**

Are you a Christian woman who is tired of the same old answers to your body image and comparison struggles?

Have you "tried everything," yet still feel like your body isn't enough or should be better?

Do you know that "God looks at the heart" or "You're fearfully and wonderfully made" yet STILL feel like maybe God should have made your body better?

Bonus: Have you ever prayed for God to zap you skinny? ;) (Your secret is safe here.)

If you answered yes to any of the above, then Compared to Who? A Biblical Approach to Body Image Issues is the show for you!

Twice a week, we tackle tough topics like feeling out of control with food, body shame, disordered eating, weight loss, aging, dieting, body dysmorphia, body hatred, and more from a practical, grace-filled, biblical, and gospel-centered perspective.

I'm Heather Creekmore, author of several books (including a forthcoming body image workbook), speaker, and Christian body image coach. Our approach to body image issues is relatable, authentic, and truth-driven. We hope every episode is filled with grace and hope for your personal struggle. I spent decades battling the scale and the mirror. But, now I help women get free from body image issues so they can stop comparing and start living. Listen to laugh about all the common ways we struggle and find encouragement for our journey.
