When Food is Your Mother
It's easy to look at overeating or any kind of overdoing with food as proof of 'badness,' a moral failure. It might seem like a lack of character or strength. But there are good reasons why you overeat! When we feel overwhelmed, stressed, and caught in painful emotions, everything in our neurobiology is wired to connect.

Our struggles can become the lens through which we see ourselves, coloring our perceptions and beliefs about who we are. In the wake of this separation, we often lose our connection with ourselves: our hopes and dreams, abiding goodness, capability, and trustworthiness. The Book of Love is…

When Food is Your Mother – 2021 class
For many people, overeating and binge eating are not just “bad” habits or coping strategies but emotional bonds – a 'mother' that they turn to for comfort, holding, soothing, regulation, and nurturing. Self soothing with food is a well intentioned coping mechanism to feel safe, secure and connected in the face of isolation, intense emotions, powerlessness, or pain. In moments of overwhelm, this emotional bond with food – and the needs that drive it – can override other needs, such…
