Healing Notes
Sugar spikes dopamine in dysregulated nervous systems and quickly numbs low-grade pain. It is often symbolic of unmet sweetness — early attachment needs that were never fully met — and the body reaches for it whenever emotion becomes too much to hold.
Control softens as trust is rebuilt — first in your own body, then in life itself.
