Today I am talking to Jay. Jay is a transgender man who struggles with binge eating as an adaptation from childhood trauma. A content warning – we don’t go into details, but there is mention of sexual abuse so please do what you need to do to take care of yourself and that might mean waiting for a better time to listen. Jay chose to use an alias to protect his privacy.
We talk about the complexities around living as a human with a body and how it sometimes sucks. A reoccurring theme is “It’s about the food, but it’s not at all about the food.”
I hope you’ll find this narrative nourishing.
