An angry person is a person who is loaded with anger but doesn't express it or expresses it too late and then usually to the wrong person in a wrong way.
Ever wondered why you reach for that extra slice of cake when you're angry? In this episode of 'Shrink', psychotherapist and coach Philippe Tahon dives into the complex relationship between our emotions and eating habits. Anger, he explains, is often the top culprit influencing how much we eat. But it’s not just about feeling mad; it's the frustration we bottle up that can lead to overeating.
Philippe sheds light on how failing to address our frustrations can escalate into overwhelming anger, which many of us try to soothe with food. Philippe doesn’t just identify the problem—he offers practical advice on breaking this toxic cycle. He emphasizes the importance of expressing our emotions and setting clear boundaries. It's a challenge, he acknowledges, as many of us assume others should just know what makes us unhappy or uncomfortable.
But keeping these feelings inside can lead to more harm than good. Philippe encourages us to find our voice and express our boundaries, even if it means having tough conversations or arguments. Afraid of conflict or rejection? Philippe gets it. But he argues that it's healthier to discuss or even argue about what's bothering us rather than storing anger and covering it up with food or alcohol. Expressing anger in a healthy way, he says, shows character and self-awareness.
It’s about knowing what we like, what we don’t, and what we need. Changing this pattern isn’t easy, but Philippe believes it's worth the effort. By giving ourselves permission to voice our emotions, we can avoid turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms like overeating. So next time you're tempted to eat your feelings, remember Philippe's advice: it's better to have that difficult conversation than to finish off a whole pack of biscuits.
