About this listen

Learn inner nurturing and end emotional eating.

If you regularly eat when you're not truly hungry, choose unhealthy comfort foods, or eat beyond fullness, something is out of balance. Recent advances in brain science have uncovered the crucial role that our early social and emotional environment plays in the development of imbalanced eating patterns. When we do not receive consistent and sufficient emotional nurturance during our early years, we are at greater risk of seeking it from external sources, such as food. Despite logical arguments, we have difficulty modifying our behavior because we are under the influence of an emotionally dominant part of the brain.

The good news is that the brain can be rewired for optimal emotional health. When Food Is Comfort presents a breakthrough mindfulness practice called inner nurturing, a comprehensive, step-by-step program developed by an author who was herself an emotional eater. You'll learn how to nurture yourself with the loving kindness you crave and handle stressors more easily so you can stop turning to food for comfort. Improved health and self-esteem, more energy, and weight loss will naturally follow.

I found the narrator very soothing, made me feel as if I was having a one to one session. Brilliant book, covers everything, in-depth but not over written. it can take awhile to listen to and work through, but supportive advice without being preaching. I highly recommend this book best credit I've ever spent.

I found this book to be packed full of fantastic information which was well laid out and interesting. I did however find the narration to be somewhat mechanical therefore I tended to zone out and miss chunks of paragraphs.

Really great information

Literally thought I was listening to the same audio, it was that repetitive. Just long lists of emotional states and stories about Liz and Larry or something. Claiming back my credit on this one. Not helpful at all.

Dull and repetitive.
