In this episode, we welcome our guest, Mary Giuliani, who has overcome many challenges in her life including food, weight, and substance addiction. She has written a book that combines her personal story, science-based research, and practical healing guidance for others going through similar struggles.
The book, titled "It's Not About Food, Drugs, or Alcohol: It's About Healing Complex PTSD," delves into the idea that our struggles with food, weight, and substances are not our fault but a normal response to surviving an abnormal childhood. Mary shares her journey of discovery, where she finally learned that the root cause behind her struggles was Complex PTSD (C-PTSD), a more severe form of PTSD, resulting from her upbringing in a chaotic alcoholic home.
Over the course of five years, she did extensive research and learned from leading experts in the fields of C-PTSD, neuroscience, developmental psychology, adverse childhood experiences, and addiction medicine. She shares her revelations about how C-PTSD was sabotaging her weight, recovery, relationships, career, and health, and what she did to heal.
Listeners will hear about her journey from feeling weak, a failure, hopeless, and unworthy to finally ending her battles and finding compassion for what happened to her. She shares how she learned to release the shame and accept herself just as she is. Mary also talks about how she found purpose in helping fellow survivors heal and thrive.
Tune in for a powerful and inspiring journey to healing and recovery from Complex PTSD. Our guest will provide step-by-step, compassionate guidance for listeners to end their struggles and find their path to healing and thriving.
