The Part of You That Checks Out
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode explores the part that goes numb, zones out, and checks out when things get hard, and what it means that so much eating happens while we're not fully there. I draw on my own experience of surfacing mid-binge and not knowing where I'd been, and look at why eating on autopilot makes complete sense as a protective strategy, and what it actually takes to start building enough safety to stay present.
What You'll Discover:
- Why eating on autopilot and zoning out around food aren't about willpower and what the part doing the checking out is actually protecting you from
- Why the checking out tends to get harder to interrupt over time and what it costs you to keep not being there
- What the part that checks out actually needs and why trying to force yourself to stay present tends to make it worse
- Why the most useful moment isn't when you checked out and everything to do with what was happening right before
If you've ever found yourself coming back to awareness mid-binge and genuinely not knowing how you got there, this episode is for you.
