The Body Trust® Podcast
Welcome to The Body Trust Podcast, a podcast about collective healing and the radical journey of body reclamation in a culture of anti-fatness, weight stigma, disordered eating and other traumas. Hosted by Dana Sturtevant, Hilary Kinavey, and Sirius Bonner, The Body Trust Podcast will challenge prevailing views on food, bodies, weight, and health, and unpack how social justice intersects with body liberation. Each episode offers insights and stories to help you unlearn the b.s., deepen your roots into body trust, and make your healing bigger than you. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts. We can't wait to connect with you!

On this episode of The Body Trust Podcast Hilary and Sirius invite Body Trust provider and therapist Christina Burrell to discuss survivorship. Christina discusses dissociation, compartmentalization, bodily autonomy, and the cultural context of Me Too. Christina describes running a small Body Trust foundations group for queer survivors and emphasizes explicit, consistent invitations that communicate “all of you is welcome here,” noting healing cannot be thought through alone and must connect to collective movement toward “the horizon of love.”
