Bianca is a clinical hypnotherapist who trained at The Academy of Hypnotic Science, the largest training school in clinical hypnotherapy in Australia, recognised by the Australian Skills Quality Authority. Bianca has a special interest in working with people who experience disordered eating, anxiety, and the intersecting issues of gut-health and function which so often present for patients in these spaces.
In our first “healer/helper” style episode, we speak to an expert about the stories that keep us from being Wild + (finally fcking) Free.
We talk about:
- Bianca’s own personal experience of discombobulated body image, anorexia and disordered eating in her teens, 20s and early 30s
- Kylie’s personal experience with emotional eating, “food addiction”, disordered eating and healing from her own 30+ decades yo-yo style diet-culture hell, and how she came to the realisation at the beginning of 2022 that a big F off change needed to happen
- The concept of Acceptance Commitment Therapy’s “creative helplessness” and how Bianca stealthily uses this to wake up her clients (Kylie included) to the unhelpful patterns that have around body image, body love and lack of real self acceptance
- Kylie’s journey in the past 9 months from food obsessions and dangerous restrictive eating practices in a “food addiction” cult (which led to binge eating behaviours) to shift towards a year free from diets
- The real science around the concept of “food addiction” and disrupting all the common myths of the diet culture industry, including the deeply engrained society-conditioned belief that “skinnier is healthier”
- The evidence behind health at every size, which clearly shows that it is the presence of healthy behaviours like not smoking, moderate alcohol intake, eating fruits and veggies every day and exercising 3 times a week that dictates H E A L T H (and not the size clothes you wear or the number on the scale)
- Body image distress, where it comes from, and the flow-on effects of trying to “control our bodies” has on other areas of life - if you find yourself with a need control in your parenting, your finances, your home, your career, your [fill in the blank], you N E E D to listen in to this!
- The real cost of being tied to spending emotional, mental and spiritual bandwidth on body image and dieting, and Kylie’s massive shift towards living a fuller version of her true self since she started doing this work
