The Holidays can bring up a whole host of stressors and anxiety in all of us. But when you feel out of control with food and struggle with binge eating, it can be especially hard. Not only are there the holiday occasions filled with food but there’s the upfront anticipation and dread of what may come, as well as the turmoil that arises after an unwanted binge. It can ruin the entire holiday season.
Today I’m joined by Jane Pilger, a binge eating specialist to discuss these challenges and provide practical strategies to prepare for, and navigate within the maze that is the holiday season to come out with the tools and strategies to support you all year.
