You might find these useful
A full vocabulary of feelings and needs is an amazing resource. Print it out and stick it on your fridge. This list will help you express what you’re feeling and needing in words, so you won’t have to use food to do the job.
The STSO Podcast
2 Seasons, more than 35 episodes so far and growing, on why we eat the way we do - from the needs behind our binges to feeling calm and safe inside your own body. A gentle way to get to know my approach before we ever talk.
