Free Spirit Academy Podcast
Free Spirit Academy is here to support you in being fully yourself. Often, that means addressing stress and trauma accumulated from culture, family, religion, education systems, and beyond.
Our bodies hold our trauma, but they also hold our truth.
My name is Rande Moss, I'm a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Eating Psychology Coach. I'm so grateful you're here for these talks and conversations.

Healing Doesn't Happen in a Hurry (the truth about emotional, compulsive, and binge eating)
Healing doesn't happen in a hurry. The hurry to be healed, integrated, enlightened, free, arrived...it's not as neat and tidy as a lot of self-help books or before-and-after photos might suggest.
It's more like, the harder we try to fix things, the harder our nervous systems work to keep us where things are familiar. Whereas, if we can slow down with ourselves, right in the behavior or with the part of us we hate or struggle with most, we can get to know it. There are often so many unknown steps in a healing process that we couldn't possibly plan them all out, let alone by a certain date. And often, the version of us that exists right here is the one most needing our acceptance and attention.
In this episode, I talk about the desperation and hurry I felt to "fix" my binge and emotional eating. I'll also share about the parts of myself I'd have missed meeting if the "hurry" had worked.
