So basically, our reactions to our experiences can either feed a bad wolf- and that would be the unpleasant emotions, the self-defeating thoughts, the low self-esteem- or we can develop habits even in reaction to our experiences.
Ever find yourself reaching for snacks when you're feeling down? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Julie Simon, a psychotherapist and author of 'When Food Is Comfort'. Julie dives deep into the roots of emotional eating and offers practical advice on how to break free from this cycle.
Drawing from the parable of the two wolves, she explains how our reactions to experiences can either nourish our better self or fuel our worst habits. Julie emphasizes the importance of emotional nurturance, especially during our early years, and how it affects our brain development and emotional regulation. She shares valuable tips on how to sit with difficult emotions like shame or guilt, fostering self-connection and self-validation instead of turning to food for comfort.
This episode is packed with insights on developing an inner nurturing voice to help process and regulate emotions, ultimately leading to healthier habits. If you're struggling with emotional eating or know someone who is, this conversation offers supportive and healing strategies to feed your good wolf and cultivate a more balanced life.
