If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know that I talk about the 8 reasons why people binge eat:

* Shame and judgment

* Dysregulated nervous system

* Disconnection from your body

* Coping mechanism

* Attempt to control

* Habit

* Negative Self-Talk

I've recently come to realize that it all comes down to one word: disconnection. This means that in order to end your binge eating, the skill you must cultivate is connection. It's the closest thing to a magic pill you're going to find.

Tune in to discover why connection is so important and how you can begin to cultivate it for yourself. Discover a powerful statement that you can remind yourself of anytime you are eating in a disconnected way.

Chances are that you are very familiar with the concept of the downward spiral - especially as it relates to binge eating or feeling out of control around food sometimes.

Many people think that once they start binge eating they can't stop for days, weeks or even months. This is a downward spiral. It feels easy to get on and hard to get off.

Did you know that there is such a thing as an upward spiral?

Tune in to find out more about what an upward spiral is and how to shift from a downward spiral to an upward spiral with one simple but powerful question.

This concept comes from the book Body Kindness by Rebecca Scritchfield. I highly recommend it!
