Narcissistic Abuse & Emotional Eating

One of the most challenging things I had to deal with during my relationship with my ex-husband was emotional eating. I'll share with you the situations that triggered my emotional eating protector parts, the effects that had on my self-image, self-esteem and mental health. We will also talk about why our body chooses emotional eating to protect us and how to deal with it.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What exactly triggered my emotional eating protector parts

- What my emotional eating was protecting me from

- Why emotional eating is so effective as a pain release mechanism

- What is emotional eating distracting us from, and why we must get curious about it

Once we start recognising we are not our protector parts, that we are blended into them and that they are there to distract us from feeling pain, we'll start seeing things differently. It will be easier to lift the shame and guilt that trigger our emotional eating protector parts. Then we can get curious about why we feel that guilt or shame and work on those issues.
