Ep.18 Surviving the Holidays Without Food Shame: A Trauma-Informed Guide to Intuitive Eating with Christie Caggiani, RDN

In this heartfelt holiday episode, Dr. Patty welcomes her dear friend and co-owner of Therapeutic Oasis, Christie Caggiani — a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and eating-disorder specialist with over 35 years of experience.

Together they unpack why the holidays can feel so dysregulating around food (especially when you have trauma, attachment wounds, or a history of disordered eating), and how to move through this season with more kindness, presence, and trust in your body.

If family gatherings trigger old food rules, body comments, or emotional eating — this episode is your permission slip to do the holidays differently.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • How to stop the cycle of body & food shaming (especially with kids and teens)
  • The #1 most important thing you can do for your nervous system this season
  • How to cope with emotional eating without spiraling into guilt
  • Practical ways to protect your peace at family gatherings (even when diet talk starts)
  • Why “saving up” calories all day almost always backfires
  • How to bring self-compassion to the table instead of perfectionism
  • Simple cope-ahead strategies so you don’t have to white-knuckle it through December
