Dr. Lynyetta Willis joins me to explore the concept of feeding triggers, how they impact our parenting, and what we can do to transform them. She is a sought-after speaker, family coach, author, and former therapist who helps frustrated families break free from Stable Misery, so they can create more joy and live in harmony. She has spent the last 20 years helping individuals, couples, and families gain confidence as they cope with drama, heal trauma, and grow emotionally and spiritually.We discuss the difference between being triggered and stressed and how these relate to fear and anxiety. Dr. Willis stated they go together because of the stories we tell ourselves.She discusses the relative effect regarding feeding triggers. Even if our elders or relatives are not physically present, they can still feed into these triggers and influence a childs interaction with food. She also links it to the nervous system that naturally protects us around food, which is necessary for survival.What Youll Learn About Transform Your Parenting and Feeding Triggers+ The P.A.T.H.S.
