80: How to Handle Emotional Hunger
Today's episode is about an important topic that I'm actually in the midst of as I record this podcast. This has given me an opportunity to reflect on all the lessons I've learned in the past few years of experiencing and understanding emotional hunger, especially how it differs from real, physical hunger. Emotional hunger feels just like real, physical hunger. However, when you start to pay attention, you'll notice some important differences. Unlike physical hunger, emotional hunger cannot be satisfied with food. Trying to do so can create some serious heaviness for your body and take you further away from what you're deeply needing. Tune in this week for a deeper understanding of your emotional hunger, what it feels like from a sensation perspective, and why it happens. I'm sharing the lessons I've learned about my own emotional hunger, so you can come up with a personal self-soothing plan of your own and choose how you want to engage with emotional hunger when it comes up for you.
