Julie Simon and I Discuss How to Manage Emotional Eating …
- Her book, When Food is Comfort: Nurture Yourself Mindfully, Rewire Your Brain and End Emotional Eating.
- The most common cause of emotional overeating is difficulty regulating our emotions, moods, thoughts, and behaviors
- When we disconnect from our emotions, we don’t learn necessary skills to regulate
- Attunement and attachment in early childhood that create neural pathways
- When we’re under the influence of emotional part of the brain, we’re not capable of reasoning
- The 7 skills involved in inner nurturing
- The importance of exploring our emotions and bodily sensations
- Our tendency to move away from unpleasant emotions by focusing on our thoughts
- How emotions present in the body first (before we have words for them)
- Real recovery is experiencing and moving through emotions
- Learning to practice soothing behaviors to restore ourselves to calm
- The goal is not to distract ourselves, but to calm ourselves enough to work on regulation skills
- How self validation is not condoning the behavior, but acceptance and self compassion
