““When my clients stop overeating they are typically bombarded with negative emotion. Their knee jerk reaction after years of practice is to fight the emotion, escape the emotion, or bury the emotion. Picking up more food is a way to escape the emotion temporarily. BUT if we are willing—and many of us are—to RELAX INTO THE EMOTION and feel it deeply, we can watch it pass through us. Eventually, as we get better at experiencing the truth of our emotional state, we can find the thought that is causing the feeling””
