The Mountain Life - Arlene Englander - Food and Emotion

Lynn Ware Peek and guest co-host Pete Stoughton speak with psychotherapist Dr. Arlene Englander. She says emotional overeating is not about loving food; so calling an emotional overeater a foodie is like calling an alcoholic a wine connoisseur. Acknowledging what emotional overeating is—eating in a desperate attempt to distract oneself from painful thoughts and feelings—is the first step to breaking free. Dr. Englander joins us to discuss this topic and her book, Let Go of Emotional Overeating and LOVE YOUR FOOD.
