When you use food to fill the hole of emptiness

May 21, 2014

If you have suppressed parts of yourselves, or dissociated from emotions from years, you may find these emotions emerging in your relationship with food. Dissociation is a form of self-protection - and compulsive food behaviors can help us to feel safe.

If you have a default setting of self-blame or internal numbness, I invite you to listen to this question and response from a recent Untangled 'Supporting Growth' live call.

In this episode of the Growing Human(kind)ness podcast you will learn:

About my own experience with this internal emptiness and dissociation
What early childhood has to do with this
The process of suppressing emotion
How we find wholeness again
