Publisher's summary

If you've experienced physical, sexual, or emotional abuse, your past trauma could affect how you care for yourself today. You may struggle with difficult thoughts and feelings, and reach for food to soothe your emotions when feeling sad, anxious, or stressed. You aren't alone.

Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors offers an innovative, trauma-informed approach to overcoming emotional eating using the principles of mindfulness, self-compassion, and neuroscience. With this gentle guide, you will gain a deeper understanding of your trauma, and discover alternative ways to soothe stress and difficult emotions when they show up. You'll also learn to shift your focus away from your weight, so you can cultivate a more loving connection with your body as you heal.

With this compassionate guide, you'll discover ways to: calm your anxious brain and body; safely process your emotions; transform self-punishment into self-compassion; practice self-forgiveness and overcome body shame; take your power back from trigger foods; and create an emotionally safe sanctuary with friends, family, and home. Most importantly, you'll find the support you need to end the cycle of emotional eating and release the weight of your trauma—so you can live with a greater sense of freedom and vitality.

I wish I’d had this years ago

Diane does an amazing job of explaining what’s behind and driving the behavior or emotional eating plus gives practical tools that anyone can use. You can tell the book is written with so much compassion and care for the reader and/or listener. I especially loved the client stories since I feel like I learn and comprehend concepts so much better through storytelling. This book would have saved me YEARS of anguish and self-punishment so I hope it does that for anyone struggling with emotional eating now.

A thoughtful book and well read

This book answered some behaviors in me, that I had been seeking. I knew my eating habits were deeper than simply going on the right diet or eating plan. I need to listen to this again.
