Loneliness is difficult to cope with for many people anyway, and it's even more difficult when you're in a relationship, I mean when you're lonely by yourself.
Ever noticed how your jeans seem to get tighter after you've settled into a relationship? Philippe Tahon, a seasoned psychotherapist, dives into this curious phenomenon. In this episode of 'Shrink', he unpacks why some of us tend to gain weight when we're in love. Drawing from his extensive practice, Philippe identifies common patterns like the 'kilos of abstinence'—those extra pounds that appear when intimacy is lacking.
He also touches on how denial and avoidance play a role, with some people turning to food to sidestep relationship issues. Philippe stresses the importance of open communication and finding ways to connect that don't involve the dinner table. If you're puzzled by your relationship weight gain, this episode offers a blend of professional wisdom and practical advice to help you understand and manage it better.
