Let’s tackle the challenge of emotional eating head-on. In this episode, I’m offering a specific plan centered around the powerful strategy of curiosity. I’ll explore how understanding the reasons behind emotional eating can empower you to regain control over your eating habits. By fostering curiosity rather than self-blame, you can uncover the underlying needs driving overeating and emotional eating and develop tailored strategies for healthier eating patterns. Through prompts and exercises, this episode guides you through a journey of experimentation to cultivate lasting peace with food.

In this episode:

  • The curiosity strategy as a powerful tool for overcoming emotional eating habits.
  • How self-blame prevents growth and change.
  • Practical tips and prompts for you to explore your emotional eating patterns and identify your underlying needs and cravings.
  • Guidance on designing a personalized seven-day experiment to address emotional eating triggers and test alternative coping mechanisms.
