Food Junkies Podcast Ep. 223: Clinicians Corner – From Survival to Self-Compassion: Understanding Our Protective Behaviors

In this Clinician’s Corner episode, Clarissa Kennedy and Molly Painschab rethink the concept of “self-sabotage” in food addiction recovery. They reveal how these behaviors are not signs of failure, but adaptive coping strategies rooted in survival. With compassion and clinical insight, they explore how reframing shame-based language can open the door to healing, connection, and nervous system awareness.
