In today’s episode of The Mindful Balance, we dive deep into the intricate maze of emotional eating. Drawing inspiration from Kathryn Hansen’s “Brain over Binge,” we challenge the conventional approach surrounding emotional eating and examine why popular strategies might not resonate with everyone. We’ll explore the difference between being caught in a behavior pattern and letting that behavior define your identity. We’ll also dissect various approaches, from food restriction to emotion-focused strategies, and discuss their effectiveness. By the end, we aim to provide a fresh perspective on emotional eating, emphasizing the power of understanding and breaking deeply ingrained habits. Join us on this enlightening journey to better understand the mechanisms driving our behavior and to discover potential paths to a healthier relationship with food.
