The Body As A Sacred Space is the first and only online weight-loss course designed specifically for the over six million (in America alone) obese individuals who have unknowingly used obesity as a cloaking device to feel safe in their own bodies.
If you were raised in an environment of chronic childhood trauma, your continued use of childhood survival mechanisms is your largest obstacle to happiness in adulthood. Diet and exercise programs are ineffective, as a stand-alone solution, for those who use obesity as insulation from what they subconsciously perceive as a threatening world. No matter how badly you may consciously wish to be fit and trim, your traumatized subconscious is convinced otherwise.
Until you have succeeded in permanently calming your nervous system, shifted your focus to completely tuning-in to your own– needs, desires, creativity and pleasure vs. people-pleasing and learned how to de-stress as a way of life, you cannot feel safe in your own skin. Which means, your subconscious is not going to cooperate with permanent weight-loss until you show yourself some honestly loving treatment.
The Body As A Sacred Space course addresses and resolves each of those issues and others that you probably do not even suspect are related to the psychological, physical and emotional wounding of your childhood, which you are still affected by in adulthood today. The obesity-childhood trauma correlation has been recognized for nearly 40 years!
In the mid-1980s Dr. Robert Anda, a medical epidemiologist at the Center for Disease Control, called the obesity-childhood trauma connection:
A CHRONIC PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTER
And I Agree!
After surveying for the childhood trauma experiences of over 17,000 Kaiser Permanente members, Dr. Anda crafted the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Questionnaire which contains 10 of the most frequently mentioned childhood traumas by those surveyed. He concluded that ACEs were the most influential determinants of a person’s health and social/emotional well-being.
You can view the Course Curriculum and preview the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Questionnaire (included in Lesson 1) here and answer the questions for yourself, which may help you determine if this is an appropriate course for you. It’s important to note that the scope of childhood trauma is not limited to only the types listed on the ACEs Questionnaire.
Many of us experienced childhood trauma outside the home environment and these experiences also validate the obesity–childhood trauma correlation. Some other examples of trauma are: bullying, sexual abuse, being exposed to violence, drugs, drinking, humiliation, fearful situations and numerous other traumatizing events. In the end, only you can determine if you experienced trauma as a child.
I know this is scary. But so is lugging all that fear around. Do you really want to do that your entire life?
I didn’t think so.
