Healing Emotional Eating with Diane Petrella
::Trigger Warning::
This episode contains discussions about trauma and emotional eating. If this topic is sensitive or triggering to you, please listen at your discretion.
We tend to think of overeating or eating when we’re not hungry as a lack of willpower or discipline. Feeling intense shame afterward. Vowing to never do it again. Only to keep returning to food and repeating the cycle over and over.
We’re great at blaming ourselves, but have you ever considered that your eating habits might be linked to deeper issues? And that your perceived lack of control is actually a survival mechanism?
Today Diane Petrella, MSW, clinical social worker, and author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors, and I discuss the link between childhood trauma and emotional eating.
Highlights Timings:
03:01 - The Link Between Trauma and Emotional Eating
10:01 - Early Trauma and Its Long-Term Effects
15:01 - Coping Mechanisms and Food as Comfort
20:01- Strategies to Manage Emotional Eating
