Mindful Emotional Eating by Pavel G Somov

Mindful Emotional Eating by Pavel G Somov

you can eat to cope

you can learn to use food on occasion to feel better

you can feel in control (and have a treat)

you don't have to feel bad or guilty about emotional eating

you don't need to completely eliminate emotional eating to be healthy>

In his new book, Mindful Emotional Eating, psychologist Pavel Somov has given a cultural permission to eat emotionally -- with mindfulness-based tools to do so in moderation and without self-judgment and self-loathing. Somov proposes that emotional eating is a legitimate form of self-care and teaches clients and clinicians how to leverage more coping per calorie. Numerous original exercises and meditative techniques will guide a more conscious alliance with food during moments of emotional distress.
