Breaking Free from Emotional Overeating with Arlene Englander

Emotional overeating is eating neither for enjoyment nor for the satisfaction of hunger, but in a desperate attempt to distract ourselves from painful thoughts and feelings.
Ever wondered why you reach for that extra slice of cake when you're stressed? In this engaging episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes sits down with Arlene Englander, author of 'Let Go Of Emotional Overeating and Love Your Food'. Englander, a Columbia University-trained psychotherapist and former emotional overeater, shares her journey and the practical techniques she’s developed to help others break free from the cycle of emotional eating.
Emotional overeating isn’t just about the extra calories; it’s about understanding the underlying emotional triggers that lead us to overindulge. Englander explains how increasing self-awareness and defining what emotional overeating looks like for each individual is the first step towards change. She offers actionable strategies like mindful eating and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) that can help listeners address their eating habits in a way that’s both effective and enjoyable.
This episode is packed with tips not only for individuals struggling with emotional overeating but also for clinicians looking to support their clients. Englander emphasizes meeting clients where they are and finding joy in life as crucial components of overcoming this habit. Whether you're trying to shed a few pounds or simply want a healthier relationship with food, this conversation provides valuable insights.
Tune in to discover how you can start loving your food without the guilt and transform your eating habits for good.
