Charlotte Hastings: Addiction, attachment & cooking as therapy

单集简介 ...

Episode 192 with Charlotte Hastings. “I used to pray as a girl: ‘Please, let me sit in my seat. Please, don’t let me shoot my mouth off. Please, just let me be a good girl. I just want to be like everybody else.’” Charlotte is a trained psychodynamic counselor, a nutrition and cookery instructor, and a former head of drama at a boarding school for dyslexic, autistic spectrum, and ADHD students in the UK.  Her recipe of personal and professional experience, skills and passions have all fed into the creation of Therapy Kitchen. Charlotte integrates therapy with cooking to enhance personal and social well-being in individuals and groups. Her new book, Kitchen Therapy: How to Become a Conscious Cook, was published this past summer and is a cookbook and psychotherapeutic adventure in one, exploring the psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions food holds for us. Charlotte and I talk about how she uses cooking and kitchen therapy to support neurodivergent clients and students, as well as her own journey of unraveling the ties between addiction, attachment, and ADHD. We also talk about the role of trauma and childhood development in ADHD, and the importance of connection and nourishing our brains in the kitchen and everywhere else.
