Emotional Eating Therapy in Westlake Village, CA

HEALING THE HUNGER WITHIN

Emotional eating is something we all do from time to time. If we have a stressful day we may crave comfort food, if we are feeling angry we may need to munch on something crunchy, if we are feeling lonely we may just eat too much or not at all. But when this kind of eating or starving goes from sometimes to most of the time, it could be a sign that there is something we are avoiding feeling, experiencing or doing. Eating or starving are used to soothe painful and difficult emotions. By identifying what underlies emotional eating we open up new ways to take care of ourselves and heal the hunger within.

Struggling with body appearance and becoming highly focused on changing it can lead to shame, depression, and unhealthy relationships with food and exercise.  There is such a strong pull for appearing a certain way and so many messages around what bodies "should" look like.  This is a non-stop trap and finding your freedom from it comes from self and body acceptance.  There is so much meaning in how we view and take care of our bodies. 

If you are feeling stuck in the trap of emotional eating or body shame, let's talk.  We can work together to find your freedom from these issues and help you live a true, authentic, alive, connected, and well life.
