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
