Families Navigating Addiction & Recovery


Mar 6, 2019

“It's very important that you start today to build an inner nurturing voice… because you're going to need that voice, even when you take your last breath.” -Julie Simon

 

Food! Food! Food! Who does not love food! Food is comfort. Food is life. Food is everything good in the world. We can say a lot about food but food can also say a lot about us. Today’s episode will give voice to that with our guest, Julie Simon. Julie is a licensed Psychotherapist and Life Coach and is specializing in emotional eating and food addiction. She has a private practice and is designing various programs for over 29 years now. Having experienced the struggle with overeating herself, she decided to listen to the voice that helped her reframe her life.

 

Often, we fail to see beyond what our eyes can see. And that’s not very helpful at all. Some people eat way too much and we say they lack self-control but the real reason beyond their overeating is unknown to us. Get the hang of the connection between early development and food, the role of your hormones in food addiction, the signs of an emotional eater, the skills needed to fight addiction and the right attitude towards those skills. Food need not be a problem anymore if you solve the problem behind food addiction. Engage in this yummy discussion that will arouse your appetite for recovery.
