"I Can't Stop" - Is It True? | Client Story Using The Work

"I can't stop eating." or I can't stop drinking or I can't stop thinking about my ex-boyfriend.

If you've ever thought this and felt completely defeated by it, this video is for you.

Today I'm sharing a common client story about what happens when we question this thought using Byron Katie's inquiry process.

In this video:

Why "I can't stop" is not actually true The four questions that revealed what was really happening The difference between "I can't stop eating" and "I can't stop thinking about eating" and also "I can't stop feeling"

Bring curiosity to your wonderful self--this is the peaceful path. Put your behavior out of a job more naturally, instead of applying aggression.

Key insight: The problem isn't the eating. It's thoughts about the eating that makes you feel powerless, and thoughts about life that make you feel powerless.

This is part of my Wednesday series on inquiry for emotional eating and compulsive behaviors. While I focus on emotional eating, this questioning process works for any "I can't stop" thought—drinking, scrolling, worrying, people-pleasing.
