The Eating Disorder Therapist

Using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) in Eating Disorder Recovery, with Lisa Unger


Listen Later

Today I’m talking to Lisa Unger - an emotional and eating disorder specialist and a level 2, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner.

Lisa has been on her own healing journey and spent years trapped in a cycle of bingeing and restrictive dieting, leading to self-loathing and unhappiness. She found a path to recovery by combining various techniques with her innate strength and resilience. Today, Lisa embraces all foods without restriction and is no longer ashamed of her body.

Using her skills in nutrition and psychology, Lisa now dedicates herself to empowering emotional eaters and those battling eating disorders to make long term changes to the way they think about food and themselves. With her support Lisa gives them the freedom to regain control of their lives.

Lisa has found EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to be a transformative tool for many of her clients in reducing anxiety and enhancing their overall well-being during their recovery journey. It is a technique that can be used in social settings as well which so many of her clients have found to be invaluable. 

In the episode today, Lisa talks about her own healing journey and does a deep dive into EFT. What is it? How can we learn it? How can it help? Then, she explores the integration of EFT, as a strategy for managing anxiety and promoting healing in eating disorder recovery. Lisa brings some real practical examples of how to use EFT, showing how it can be such a valuable healing skill to add to your toolbox. I hope that you enjoy the conversation.
