One of the main challenges we face in our relationship with food & body is emotional eating.

& although emotional eating is a natural part of our eating experiences,

when it is THE primary coping mechanism to deal with our emotions & unmet needs, it turns into problematic eating behavior that we need to address.

So, my aim for this episode is to introduce what emotional eating is, & then share with you the initial steps of how to effectively deal with it.

I hope you find it helpful ❤️

In this episode, I am going to walk you through the difference between nourishment & restriction, & how to move from restriction to aligning with your body.

Nourishment and restriction are two contrasting approaches to food and body that have different effects on overall well-being. & in my latest episode, I shared with you some facts & reasons why diets fail to maintain long-term results with our health (make sure to listen to it!). & when I say restriction, I mean following a certain diet plan or food rules to either lose weight or as your way of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Nourishment, on the other hand, emphasizes providing your body with the essential nutrients it needs for optimal functioning and overall health. It involves a balanced approach to eating, focusing on consuming a variety of foods that provide vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial components.

More on this in this episode!!

In this episode, I am sharing with you one of the most empowering & fundamental perspectives when it comes to our relationship with food & body. I will be talking about the archetypes of who we are as eaters. & this is going to help you understand

• the nature of your relationship with food & body,
• the drive behind your food choices,
• & the reason(s) you might feel stuck & unable to move forward in this relationship with f & b & in building & sustaining healthier & more supportive eating habits & practices.
  

In eating psychology we believe that food is an integral part of our lives, and the way we approach eating can reveal deep insights about our personalities, how we show up in our lives, and the relationships with the world around us. 

& if you want to go deeper in identifying your own archetypes & working on healing with it, you can book your 1:1 private coaching with me. Contact me via email at hanin.katerji@gmail.com or Dm me on instagram @hanin.eatingpsychology.

In this episode, we'll be discussing how healing with food and body can help us heal with our emotions, unmet needs, and traumas. In fact, anything that comes up in our relationship with food & body, it will be a sign for us to tune into our emotions, needs & question if we are undergoing a trauma response, especially for those of us who were or still are struggling with a trauma. 

In this episode I also shed light on what emotional eating is & how to step into healing with it!!

Note that I am not a trauma informed therapist, & that I always recommend if you have experienced trauma or are facing any mental health issues please do seek the support of a qualified mental health professional, such as a therapist or counselor, to guide you along your trauma healing journey.
