Is emotional eating bad? If you've ever felt like you struggle with emotional eating or you're a professional who works with those who do, you'll want to hear this unique perfective from a non-diet therapist (Savana), and a non-diet dietitian Shannon Costello.

Savana & Shannon unpack the problem with the trending topic of emotional eating - many of these reasons contributing to why Savana has taken the term "emotional eating" out of her vocabulary as a therapist. We talk about the following:

-the parts of emotional eating that everybody gets wrong
-why diet culture is currently obsessed with concept of emotional eating
-the real reason you can't stop eating in the evening after work (that has nothing to do with emotions)
-the 1 thing that emotional eating and dieting have in common
-how emotional eating can actually have a healthy place in our life
-how European cultures would view the concept of emotional eating
-how to actually work with emotional eating (hint: this does NOT involve restriction or starting another diet)
