To be able to stop overeating, you need to understand what's going on for you. You need to find a place of compassion for that. A place of self-hatred is a very poor place to give up comfort eating. Frankly, it's not going to happen from there, but from a place of genuine self-respect and with education on how to manage feelings differently, it is possible to choose not to overeat.
Ever found yourself reaching for snacks when you're not even hungry? Shelley Treacher, a BACP Accredited Somatic Psychotherapist, dives into this all-too-common habit on her podcast, 'Underground Confidence Recovery'. In this episode, Shelley tackles emotional eating head-on, offering a fresh perspective on why we turn to food for comfort and how to break the cycle. With her gentle and understanding approach, she helps listeners uncover the emotional triggers behind their overeating habits.
Shelley doesn't just treat the symptom; she gets to the heart of the issue. She starts by addressing the negative self-talk many of us engage in when we overeat, especially the harsh labels like 'lazy'. Instead of self-criticism, Shelley encourages curiosity and compassion. She explains that what we often see as laziness is actually our natural tendency to avoid discomfort and conserve energy.
To help listeners pinpoint their emotional triggers, Shelley poses three thought-provoking questions: When do you find yourself overeating? What are your thoughts and feelings just before you reach for food? And what would happen if you resisted the urge to eat? By reflecting on these questions, listeners can start to understand the emotional discomfort driving their eating habits. Shelley's advice is clear: approach this journey with kindness and self-respect.
This episode isn't just about stopping overeating; it's about understanding yourself better and making healthier choices with compassion. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of emotional eating, Shelley's insights could be the key to unlocking your 'underground' confidence.
