Video Q&A: “Why can't I do the things I know I need to do?”
“I know the things I need to do to stop binge eating and sometimes I can do them and I feel really good about that. But I just can’t seem to do them most of the time. I want to know how I can get around this because it’s really frustrating me! Thanks for all of your support!”

Quotes from the video
“If your nervous system is dysregulated, you’re in that sympathetic response, that fight, flight, freeze, it is going to be really hard for you to take any kind of positive action.”
“Perhaps your binge eating is a way that your body is trying to keep you safe.”
“If you’re a highly sensitive or empathic woman, it’s likely that you’ll experience more dysregulation in your system than the average person.”
“Ask yourself the question ‘What do I need to feel safe right now?’”
“You’re not trying to change the thing you’re doing, but changing the awareness in which you’re doing it”.
