In this World Mental Health Day conversation, I welcome Accredited Practising Dietitian and credentialed eating-disorder dietitian Jacinta Sherlock (Dietetics Done Differently) to explore emotional and non-hunger eating—and why “knowing what to eat” isn’t the same as eating it.
We unpack a trauma-informed, person-centred approach interwoven with Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and motivational interviewing, and we talk about mindful eating, curiosity, self-compassion, and building awareness of body sensations to make choices that actually feel good. So you can stop emotional eating without judgement, self-doubt, or guilt.
You’ll hear practical ways to notice patterns, reduce shame, and create new experiences that reshape beliefs—so eating well becomes easier, calmer, and more enjoyable.
