In my work as a therapist, I often notice how quickly emotional strain is interpreted as something that needs to be analysed, managed, or mentally “worked through.”
Sometimes that’s appropriate.
And sometimes the body is carrying more of the load than we realise.
Nutrition doesn’t replace therapeutic work.
But it forms part of the foundation on which regulation, presence, and emotional capacity rest.
When blood sugar is unstable, sleep is disrupted, or the nervous system is under-supported, people often experience more anxiety, irritability, mental noise, or a sense of being constantly on edge. Not because something is psychologically “wrong,” but because the system is working with limited resources.
From a therapeutic perspective, this matters.
When the body feels more supported, regulation often becomes more accessible.
And from there, self-observation, emotional processing, and change tend to unfold with less effort and less force.
Supporting the body is not a shortcut.
It’s part of creating conditions where deeper work can actually take place.
How mindful are you about your nourishment?
With love,
Emma ❤️
