Reaching for a bowl of ice cream after a difficult breakup might be a cliché, but emotional eating is a reality for many people around the world. Comfort foods make us feel cozy, safe, and comfortable in the moment. Unfortunately, using food to manage difficult emotions can create bigger problems over time. UpNow’s hypnosis for emotional eating can set you free from the negative cycle between emotional hunger and negative feelings.
The Roots of Emotional Eating
Babies and young children tend to regulate their calorie intake naturally. When they are hungry, they eat. When they are no longer hungry, they stop eating. If you are an emotional eater, your eating habits probably look much different. You likely eat when you are hungry, stressed, angry, sad, anxious or depressed. You might eat regardless of hunger levels, or you might feel especially hungry when you are dealing with negative emotions.
Researchers offer several theories as to why emotional eating develops, including:
- Parenting practices
- Poor self-awareness
- Difficulty identifying and expressing feelings
- Poor emotional regulation
- Maladaptive coping strategies
Emotional eating is correlated with posttraumatic stress disorder as well as exposure to trauma in both childhood and adulthood.
People who eat emotionally might have an abnormal stress response, according to some researchers. Stress typically causes a loss of appetite. This prepares our bodies to fight or flee. In people who eat emotionally, stress spurs the appetite, triggering cravings, hunger and weight gain. This can lead to a form of “self-medication” using food.
UpNow’s hypnosis for emotional eating is a powerful tool for controlling your stress response, improving coping skills, and overcoming cravings.
Using Hypnotherapy for Emotional Eating
