Binary thinking is not a character flaw. It is a survival mechanism. And it is the #1 thing keeping women stuck in their relationship with food.


In this episode I go into the grey zone: what it is, why the brain defaults to all-or-nothing thinking, and what it actually takes to build the capacity to live in the nuanced middle.


What you will learn:

  • Why binary thinking is the #1 cognitive pattern blocking food peace and body image work
  • How diet culture and systems of oppression use binary thinking to keep women compliant
  • The CBC three-step framework for separating facts from thoughts and tracing the behavior chain
  • Why more information will not fix all-or-nothing thinking, and what actually will
