Welcome to Healing Emotional Eating Episode #62: The Courage to Feel “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion and knowledge.” Plato For decades, my daily behavior was all about eating to avoid my emotions. I was afraid that if I ever started to express my rage and pain, I wouldn’t be able to stop! Yet, learning to safely release my emotions with harm to none including myself was my direct link to changing my behavior with emotional eating. And, losing weight and keeping it off still feels like a miracle to me! Join me today to reinforce the importance of having the courage to feel again.
