In today's episode, we're talking about why fullness can feel so triggering, whether you're in eating disorder recovery or not. From the fear of "eating too much" to nervous system dysregulation, we break down why satisfaction gets interpreted as danger—and how diet culture plays a major role. You'll hear real client stories, practical tools, and honest insights into how to reframe fullness as safe and necessary, even when your brain is sounding the alarm.

We cover:

• Why being full can feel unsafe
• How restriction shows up in sneaky ways, even in "intuitive eating"
• What to do in the moment when you're starting to freak out
• Nervous system regulation tools to make meals less overwhelming

Listen in for practical tools, real talk, and a big reminder: fullness is not a failure.
