We have many different parts of us. These inner parts of us all feel as though they are serving us in some way. When in relationship with food, it can be supportive to get curious about who's choosing your food, who's doing the eating, what is that part of you desiring to receive from food, where do they live in your body, and what does it feel like when they show up.

It was my first year of Graduate School and my first time living by myself in my own apartment. I was experimenting with applying the somatic tools I was learning in relationship with food. Up until that point in time, I had also labeled foods as good or bad, something that if you have been with me for a while I'm very clear now that there are no good or bad foods.
