In this episode of "Inside The Comfort Zone," we discuss the complex and often painful topic of binge eating with expert guest Jane Pilger. Jane, a master certified binge eating coach, shares her personal journey from struggling with binge eating in college to now helping others find balance and peace in their relationship with food.
We explore the difference between binge eating and overeating, the role of self-compassion, and the significance of understanding our nervous systems. Jane sheds light on how binge eating often serves as a coping mechanism for emotional discomfort and the importance of creating "soft landings" to facilitate a healthier relationship with food.
Together, we emphasise the necessity of honesty, openness, and external support in the journey to overcome binge eating.
