Ep 547- I'd Rather Die Than Feel This

Confessions of a Binge Eater · Jul 24, 2025 · 10m

​​Last night, I had a wave of grief so deep it made me wish I didn't have to feel it. And if you've ever reached for food to escape pain, I know you can relate. In this episode, I open up about my mom's decline with Alzheimer's and the raw emotions that come with it. I talk honestly about how painful feelings can lead us to want to numb out—and how, with compassion and some tools, we can feel those feelings without turning to food. This is the real work of healing. It's not always pretty, but it's where the freedom is.
