The Difference Between Reading About Change and Doing It

from Binge Eating Breakthrough · host Jane Pilger

In this episode, I'm talking about something I think a lot of us are quietly doing without realizing it. Maybe you're still in it, reading and listening to everything you can find about binge eating and emotional eating, trying to finally understand it well enough that something changes. Or maybe you've already gone through most of what's out there and you're left wondering why understanding it hasn't actually changed anything. Either way, we're diving into the real difference between learning about change and actually doing it, and why staying informed, through books, podcasts, or anything else, can quietly become its own way of staying stuck.What you'll discover:Why understanding something doesn't automatically change itWhat I call shelf-help, and why it feels so safeWhat reading actually gives you, and what it doesn'tWhat doing the work actually requiresIf you've read every book, listened to every podcast, and you're still stuck in the same place with food, this episode is for you.The Book Experience begins August 18 and enrollment is open now.
