140 - The Hidden Connection Between Narcissistic Abuse & Emotional Eating

Emotional eating is such a common habit to have after experiencing an emotionally abusive or emotionally neglectful relationship.  Not just because we use food to escape difficult people and circumstances,  But because those dysfunctional relationships taught us that our emotions were wrong, bad, not allowed, or completely dismissed.  So even after you leave or change the relationship dynamic, you're still afraid of certain emotions. It's not safe to have them or feel them.  So what do you do? You eat to avoid them.  This is why it's ESSENTIAL to heal from toxic relationships if you want to be able to lose weight and never fear gaining it back again.   You need time, exposure, and practice thinking differently and telling yourself new stories, so that you can truly lose weight and keep it off for life.  And this is exactly what I'll help you do.  It's time to create the life and body you crave.
