In this episode, host John delves into the topic of stress and emotional eating.
He highlights that these behaviors are not solely about the emotions themselves, but rather our unease in dealing with them.
John explores the historical background of emotional eating, drawing comparisons between simpler times in the past and the distractions of the present.
Listeners are urged to acknowledge and comprehend their emotional discomfort.
The concept of emotional eating as a cognitive distortion is discussed.
John suggests a strategy of delaying the impulse to eat, gradually becoming more comfortable with experiencing emotions.
It is emphasized that the objective is not to immediately cease emotional eating.
Small, mindful changes are encouraged as a way to address emotional eating.
Throughout the process, self-compassion and understanding are promoted.
