The Trigger Foods Guide
Ever feel completely fine around food… until that one food is nearby?
Maybe you can’t keep it in the house. Maybe once you start, you feel like you can’t stop. Or maybe you avoid it altogether because it feels safer than risking another spiral.
Here’s what most people don’t realise:
avoiding trigger foods doesn’t fix the problem - it quietly keeps the fear alive.
This guide shows you a different way.
The Trigger Food Exposure Ladder is a gentle, step-by-step framework designed to help you rebuild trust with foods that currently feel charged, overwhelming, or out of control. Instead of white-knuckling, “proving” control, or throwing yourself in at the deep end, you’ll learn how to reduce fear gradually - in a way that feels safe, supported, and sustainable.
This isn’t about forcing yourself to eat foods you’re not ready for.
It’s about teaching your nervous system that these foods are no longer a threat.
Inside, you’ll learn how repeated, supported exposure - combined with regulation and reflection - helps the urge to binge fade naturally. As safety increases, urgency decreases. And over time, foods lose their power without you having to fight them.
What’s inside:
- A clear, visual exposure ladder you can personalise
- Step-by-step stages to move from avoidance to neutrality
- Guidance on creating buffers and safety cues before exposure
- How to know when you’re ready to move up a level
- What to do if an exposure feels wobbly or emotional
- Reflection prompts to reinforce learning and reduce fear
- A trauma-informed approach that prioritises safety over willpower
This guide is for anyone who wants a take-it-or-leave-it relationship with food - not by controlling themselves harder, but by removing the fear underneath the urge.
When foods stop feeling forbidden, they stop feeling urgent.
And when your body feels safe, bingeing no longer makes sense.
Let me know how you get on!
