Why Can't I Control My Food Cravings?

Episode 2: Emotional Eating, Trauma & the Craving to Cope
In this episode of The Trauma Queen, we unpack the hidden links between trauma, emotional eating, and the deep, subconscious need to soothe emotional wounds through food. If you’ve ever felt out of control with cravings, binges, or late-night snacking, this is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself—and start understanding the real roots beneath the behavior.

We explore how complex trauma, unprocessed abuse, and identity wounds can drive disordered eating patterns, and how food becomes a coping mechanism for unhealed trauma. Jessica Ella shares powerful insights into how the body stores pain, how triggers around food develop, and what it truly takes to feel safe enough to stop the cycle.

This episode is packed with empowering, trauma-informed tools and strategies to help you reclaim control, reconnect with your body, and begin your journey toward feeling truly healed and thriving in your relationship with food.
