In Session With Marc David: Harnessing the Artist Archetype to Heal Our Eating Challenges

In this episode of The Psychology of Eating Podcast, we meet 32-year old Sofia from Bulgaria, who would like to stop binge eating. Working with Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, Sofia shares that she uses food as a weapon for self-destruction. And she’s been doing so for quite a while … all the way back to her father’s suicide attempts when she was just 15 years old.    Recently, Sofia moved to a new country where she’s been adjusting to an entirely new life, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she had a heartbreaking miscarriage. Through it all, Sofia has struggled with major depression, and often turns to food for comfort.   As Marc explains, it’s exceedingly common to turn to food to help regulate our emotions. And to a limited degree, this can be a useful strategy - until it isn’t.    So what can Sofia do to heal her relationship with food? A key strategy is harnessing the power of the artist archetype.   Tune in now to learn more about this unique approach!   --------------------   Learn more about The Institute for the Psychology of Eating: https://psychologyofeating.com/    Interested in becoming a certified coach in eating psychology?
