Is There a Connection Between Self Compassion and Weight Loss?
There was a study that compared obese individuals who worked with a therapist versus obese individuals who working with a traditional dietician. Long-term success was greater with the people who work with a therapist, and the goal wasn't necessarily diet, it was just therapy. I think because in part of this, it's that mind-body connection, right? There's a study that I referenced and got feelings of around self-compassion. A lot of this, when you're looking at shame or what I call shame-flammation around food or your body is life itself.
