How Self-Compassion Breaks The Overeating Cycle
Using self-compassion to deal with emotions can calm the emotional and physical stress that fuels unhealthy eating behavior:
- Self-directed kindness can ease the flight-or-fight response by activating the soothing part of the brain.
- Once the body relaxes, the tough emotions begins to settle, which helps people think more clearly about their eating behavior.
- Self-compassion is an exercise in shame resilience. One way to do it is to talk to ourselves the same way we would speak to a friend.
