Takeaways

In addition to talk therapy, incorporating multiple healing modalities that address both the brain and the body is important for healing emotional eating.
Talk therapy can be helpful in understanding the why and making connections, but it may become a bottleneck in the healing process if it is the sole focus.
Alternative healing modalities such as Reiki, acupuncture, yoga, and walking meditation can help get back into the body and move energy.
Healing requires both rewiring the brain and un-stagnating and clearing energy in the body.
Understanding the why is not enough for healing; it is important to let go of the heaviness and create a new experience through embodiment.
