Emotional Eating in this episode translates as negative soothing habits around food that relate to specific emotional states. So, depending on your dynamic, that could mean binging, constant eating in an unconscious state, or feelings of powerlessness with a complete lack of control that feels similar to being possessed or out of body. If you\u2019re not an emotional eater, if you have pretty much any negative emotional-soothing habits, you will likely get something out of this podcast. It\u2019s about how we have grown patterns of soothing \u2013 and also a few tools for objectively tackling them at the root. Food is often a metaphor for how we deal with fear. And pain. We either soothe we run we lash out we deny. In Buddhism, they call these psychological types out as the grasping/fear type, the rejecting/anger type, or the denial/adrift type. So depending on your type, you will react to stress in a predictable set of ways if you have grown used to coping with specific bad habits. For example \u2013 with food. There are 3 parts to this episode: What, Why, plus 3 Tools that work for me \u2013 that can give you a starting point.
