Best Of Boss Body - Healing Emotional Eating with Diane Petrella
As we wrap up Season 4 and take a short break before we kick off Season 5 in the New Year, I’ll be taking a short break to get everything ready for what’s coming next.
In the meantime, I’ll be sharing some of my favorite episodes—maybe some you haven’t had a chance to listen to yet or maybe you’ll catch some hidden gems you might’ve missed the first time around.
This is your chance to revisit a few of the most powerful and thought-provoking episodes from the first 4 seasons.
And while I’m on this little break, I’m hard at work behind the scenes, planning even bigger and better things for the next season.
Thank you for being here and I can’t wait to share the incredible guests and inspiring content I have lined up for you next year.
::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
