Interview: The Impact of Emotional Wellbeing on Physical Health
Stacia Aashna and I discuss “The Impact of Emotional Wellbeing on Physical Health.” We talk about our experiences with hives and skin issues, and how we discovered that these health issues were largely connected to suppressed emotions, especially anger.
Interview: Emotional Suppression and Binge Eating
Thanks to Jen Howk, host of The Face of the Deep podcast, for hosting me to talk about healing overeating!
Don’t Compare Yourself to People Who Seem “Together”
Do you think to yourself, "Why do I have all these messy emotions that other people don't seem to have?" This is a common thing my clients say to me when we start getting under the skin of their compulsive eating.
How I Unfroze Emotionally and Healed Binge Eating
When I began researching compulsive eating and first discovered the idea that the way to heal is to feel suppressed emotions, I was very shut down.
Your Broken Heart and Your Food Addiction
All those who struggle with food addiction are, at their core, heartbroken. Your binge eating reveals that deep down, somewhere, your heart is broken. You may not currently be aware of this, but it's true.
How Do You Know if You’re Feeling Emotions?
How do I know if I'm feeling emotions? What does it look like to release emotions? A great indicator that you're properly feeling emotions and releasing them is if you look like a small child does when they are feeling emotions.
Overeating and Judgement of Our Emotions
Our overeating shows us a truth: that we judge and are afraid of our emotions. Every one of us that has any level of compulsive eating can benefit from looking at the issues of judgment of our emotions and also fear of them.
Can Healthy Eating Help with Your Emotions?
When you eat a healthy, light, unprocessed plant-based diet, it is easier to get into repressed emotions. Your body won't be gummed up and toxic and you'll feel more sensitive to your feelings. A heavy, processed diet numbs us out to emotion.
Feeling Emotions is a Productive Use of Time
Discovering and allowing ourselves to feel all our feelings is a way of living which results in healing compulsive eating. This means that we can achieve an end to dieting, permanent maintenance of a healthy weight, and solve nutritionally-related health problems.
Emotional Healing: My Last Resort in Healing Food Addiction
The only reason I began to try feeling hard emotions was because I had tried so many things to heal my overeating already, and I was at the end of my rope.
How I’m Learning Emotional Messiness
To heal compulsive eating, I’ve had to open up to being emotionally messy. This is something I’m still working on. I grew up, as many of us did, in a family that valued keeping it all
”together”.
