Dear Amy, I'm glad you're here. Thank you for your story, especially your body memories. Connecting body sensation to image memory can be integrating to your entire psyche. I don't think this is truly understood until a person experiences it. The more these stories are shared the more people have an opportunity to learn that many body sensations are signals to provoke awareness and self compassion - and have nothing to do with food or eating. And I'm so glad Healing Your Hungry Heart is helping.
