What happens when you cannot avoid the people or situations that trigger you?

In Episode 4 of Dying to Be Heard, Dr. Limor Weinstein and Karina explore how comments about food, weight, recovery, and judgment from others can create powerful emotional and physical reactions, even years into recovery.

Using ideas from Transactional Analysis and the "Circle Game," they explore how noticing where a trigger is “hitting” can help us better understand what is happening inside us.

Are we in green, safe, our real self, and engaged?

Are we in yellow, the child part, fight or flight?

Are we in red, shut down or the parent circle?

The goal is to notice where we are and use the skills we are learning to find our way back to the safe green circle.

One negative comment can sometimes feel louder than everything else.

In Episode 3 of Dying to Be Heard, Karina talks openly about what happens when someone’s words trigger fear, self doubt, and the urge to shut down.

We talk about how to pause, question the thought, and ask:

Is this true, or is this someone else’s opinion?

We cannot always choose what people say.

We can learn to choose what we do with their words.

Karina says it beautifully:

“I choose to choose.”

Episode 2: Can Gratitude Change the Way We See Ourselves?

In Episode 2 of Dying to Be Heard, Karina and I explore gratitude not as a way to ignore pain, but as a way to notice what is still present, meaningful, and worth holding onto.

We talk about journaling, positive present focused self talk, tapping, and how small shifts in attention can begin to change the way we relate to ourselves.

Karina continues to share her experience openly while currently living with “anorexia nervosa,” modeling the first step of The Bespoke KARMA Method™: Knowledge and Awareness. By openly sharing her experiences and building awareness in real time, Karina is helping empower others to do the same.

Our goal is not to present a perfect recovery story. It is to show the process, the conversations, and the moments that can help someone feel heard, understood, and seen as more than a diagnosis.

Dying to Be Heard 🤍

For a long time, I have wanted to create a space where research and lived experience can sit together in the same conversation.

In Episode 1 of Dying to Be Heard, Karina and I begin that conversation, exploring “anorexia nervosa” beyond food and weight, and talking about identity, feeling heard, connection, recovery, and most importantly, hope.

This series will bring together my personal experience, clinical work and doctoral research with Karina’s lived experience, along with practical skills from The Bespoke KARMA Method™ and the Science of Self-Love.

Our hope is that these conversations help people feel less alone, more understood, and more hopeful.

You are more than a diagnosis. Your voice matters.

This week’s blog is a deeply personal one.

Drawing from my doctoral research with women living with long term “anorexia nervosa,” I explore the emotional reality behind the diagnosis and the powerful role language, validation, and psychological safety can play in healing.

I also share 10 things I believe everyone should understand about long term eating disorders and the lived experience behind them.

Because sometimes the deepest pain is not feeling heard.

The words we use matter more than we think.

“You are” vs. “You have.”
They sound similar, but they don’t feel the same.

And sometimes, that difference is everything.

This week’s blog is about language, identity, and how words can either create shame or open the door to healing.

If you’ve ever struggled with how to talk about weight, food, or mental health, this is for you. Read blog the below 🫶

GLP-1 and the science of hunger.

This blog is not against GLP-1 medications.

It is about what we may miss when hunger becomes quiet, but fear, shame, identity, and the story behind it are still loud.

A very personal new blog is up as part of my weekly blog series.

This week, I reflect on the power of being heard, what happens when pain is met with invalidation, and what my lived experience, clinical work, and research have taught me about validation, psychological safety, and healing.

This one means a lot to me.

Last week, I wrote about the words “anorexia nervosa” and why they matter.I wrote about being 14 years old, hearing that diagnosis for the first time, and feeling the fear, shame, and confusion land in my body before I could even understand what those words meant.I wrote about language.I wrote a...
