Binge Dieting – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this podcast episode Betsy talks with Laurel Mellin, PhD, who is the founder of EBT, or emotional brain training.  Laurel explains in great detail how this specific brain training system works, specifically giving examples related to (among other things) binge eating and childhood situations that were at the root of unwanted behaviors. She talks about the difference between low level stressful emotions and the higher level emotions which get trapped in the subconsious mind on a feedback loop.  In this intricate system, the user learns to recognize that the unwanted behaviors we face are not about the behavior but about the brain circuits, which can be totally transformed.  

This healing modality often paralells the model of internal family systems, or IFS, of which Betsy is a practioner.  Emotional Brain Training, or EBT uses a specific phone app and peer support, and breaks behaviors down into 5 specific brain states.
