Shrink, the podcast for the mind
Through his podcasts, psychotherapist, coach and author Philippe Tahon will share his experience and knowledge about weight issues and body image. He has been working as a therapist and coach for over 20 years.His research and contact with many health industry professionals, including doctors, dieticians and pharmacists, has allowed him to occupy a unique place in his specialist field. During the course of his years as a therapist he has developed an innovative approach to weight loss, developing a programme that deals specifically with the problems of weight, self-image and addictions. He has gained a deep understanding of these issues after having himself gone through a 15 year yo-yo period of weight loss and regain. It took him years of frustration, guilt and isolation, due to the misunderstanding of friends and family – ‘but you just have to make an effort’ – before he finally got to the bottom of his struggles with food, and lost 5 stone.
Shrink, the podcast for the mind
Your body is not a bin!
This episode is recorded at the beginning of December, that time of the year when we are often tempted to eat and drink more.
We do that for different reasons: to feel like it's somehow more festive, not to disappoint someone who has spent hours in the kitchen cooking for us, because we have spent quite a lot of money on expensive dishes and drinks...
We feel bad to put in the bin that excess of food, even if we feel like we've eaten enough.
And then we somehow use our body as a bin.
You can be a good guest and enjoy the festive season without overeating and, by doing so, you won't have to spend months trying to lose that extra weight you usually put on at this time of the year.
Thanks for listening, I hope this episode will be helpful.
