44: Are You an Emotional Eater? Schemas and Food, Part 1

Welcome to another episode of The Good Mood Clinic Podcast!

*** Trigger Warning: This podcast discusses the issue of emotional eating and mentions words like 'body fat' & 'central obesity' *****
Content in this podcast in no way constitutes medical or nutritional advice. This episode does not constitute, nor is it intended to be, psychological (or other) advice for those people who have struggled with a serious eating problem or eating disorder in the past or currently.
Dear Listeners, please note that in this episode we share our personal experience with food, food choices and schemas and we discuss things like 'emotional eating' and 'comfort food'. Struggles with food, especially 'stress eating' and using food as an emotional comfort, are very common in our society. However, please remember that we are all very unique, beautiful individuals who are on our own journey in this life and we all face our own particular issues & struggles.
What is our intention with this episode and others like it? Please know that we do put a little thought into our episodes and we want only the best for you! With these discussions on food and schemas we have a few intentions. The main one being, that we hope to normalise the struggle with food that so many people experience. One of our aims with our podcast in general is to be real and honest and also provide people with hope and empowerment as well as destigmatizing mental health issues and unhelpful mental health labels.
This food series is about looking at the ways our schemas and modes can pose a barrier and can sabotage our health-based decisions and choices. We are not giving advice about what to do, rather, we are providing a discussion around the role schemas and parts of self can play when we attempt to make health-based decisions for ourselves. It can be valuable to look through the issue with a schema lens and help name certain parts of ourselves and the role they play.
