Overwhelm can rapidly contribute to losing control of eating. This is an extremely common reason for comfort eating. Not knowing how to deal with one emotion is hard enough, but having more than one, having sadness or anger or frustration, irritation all at once- way too overwhelming.
Feeling overwhelmed can often lead us to the fridge, seeking comfort in food. Shelley Treacher, a BACP Accredited Somatic Psychotherapist, tackles this all-too-common issue in her podcast 'Underground Confidence Recovery'. In this episode, she breaks down the concept of overwhelm and its strong connection to overeating. Ever felt like your emotions are running the show? You're not alone.
Shelley explains how multiple emotions like sadness, anger, and frustration can hit us all at once, making it tough to stay in control. She dives into the physiological responses our bodies have to overwhelm, which can shrink our tolerance levels and lead us straight to comfort eating. But don't worry, Shelley has some practical tips to help you manage these feelings. From self-care routines to understanding the thought processes that trigger overeating, she offers actionable advice to regain control.
Shelley also touches on how loneliness and codependency can add to our emotional burden, especially for those of us who are naturally sensitive. If you're struggling with feeling overwhelmed and find yourself turning to food for comfort, this episode is a treasure trove of insights. Shelley's empathetic approach and easy-to-follow tips make it a must-listen for anyone looking to break the cycle of emotional eating.
