104: Skills you can use to stop binging ...

Carolyn Coker Ross, MD, MPH
About this episode
The first goal of therapy if you have binge eating, compulsive overeating, food addiction or emotional eating should be interrupting any current unwanted behaviors, such as bingeing, overeating, obsessing about food or your body.  But these behaviors are so automatic and so linked to emotions that often are not acknowledged or even recognized, that it’s hard to stop or interrupt them.  There are skills that can help you if you want to move on and just don’t know how.

In this podcast you will learn:

  1. Why practicing certain skills can help you end unwanted behaviors.
  2. Five skills you can put into practice immediately.
  3. How skills can help uncouple your emotions from your unwanted behaviors.
