Amee Severson on Trauma Informed care and raising Intuitive Eaters
In this episode, Amee makes a very exciting announcement (which might just involve a book and a partnership with the amazing Sumner Brooks!!), how she found her voice (which includes crossing paths with body positive leading advocate; Lindo Bacon), every dietitians responsibility when working with human beings, more on the weaponizing of words, how dietitians are so much more than ‘food managers’, what trauma informed care really is and how to have thoughtful and empathic conversations with fat / larger bodied clients and self-care on social media.

Amee’s personal growth and evolution; how she found her place and how she found her voice – and it includes an informative car ride with the inspiring Lindo Bacon!
Every dietitian’s responsibility when working with human beings.
The weaponizing of words and how the words we use really, really matter!
