Heal Your Love-Hate Relationship with Food - by Kimberly M Daniels (Paperback)

About the Book

Many people turn to emotional eating when they're feeling stressed, bored, or sad. This destructive cycle then leads to feelings of guilt, shame, and negative body image. Intuitive Eating is a revolutionary, anti-diet approach to whole-body health that focuses on paying attention to natural hunger cues. But in order to fully transform your relationship with food, it's essential to understand why you use food as a coping mechanism. This book offers the "next step" in Intuitive Eating--internal family systems (IFS) therapy--to help readers heal the underlying cause of their emotional eating and feel comfortable in their own bodies.
