You're human, that's it. That's just reasons out of so many that could cause you to comfort eat.
Ever wondered why you reach for that tub of ice cream or that extra slice of pizza when you're feeling down? In this episode of Underground Confidence Recovery, Shelley Treacher, a BACP Accredited Somatic Psychotherapist, dives into the everyday reasons behind comfort eating and other habits like excessive texting, binge-watching TV, or endless scrolling. And guess what? It’s not about willpower! Shelley shares ten common triggers that lead us to these habits, debunking the myth that it's all about self-control.
For instance, she explains how our bodies can get conditioned to expect certain foods at specific times, making it tough to break the cycle. Or how being on a restrictive diet can backfire, causing cravings for forbidden treats. She also touches on emotional triggers—like feeling upset or anxious—that drive us to seek comfort in food or other distractions. But it’s not just about identifying these triggers.
Shelley offers a compassionate approach to breaking free from these habits through somatic psychotherapy, which considers the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected. By tuning into our bodies, we can better understand our triggers and respond in healthier ways. This episode isn’t just about pointing out problems; it’s about finding solutions and inner strength. Shelley’s gentle guidance helps listeners understand that comfort eating is a coping mechanism, not a weakness.
So if you're tired of the cycle and ready to find your underground confidence, this episode is a must-listen.
