The Illusion of Control: How Resolution Isn’t The Solution for Emotional Eating


Listen Later

In this episode, Alana dives into the topic of why resolution won't give you control and explores the illusions we create when seeking a sense of completion through food. Drawing on her personal experiences with emotional eating, binging, and purging, Alana reveals how chasing resolution through these destructive behaviors often leaves us feeling more disconnected and out of control. She discusses the importance of naming and understanding your emotions rather than trying to bury them with food. Alana provides practical steps on how to detach our identity from your feelings and embrace a more fluid and forgiving approach to your emotions. Tune in as Alana guides you toward finding true resolution within ourselves and offers insights into developing a healthier relationship with food and your emotions.
