280. What’s Missing From the “Emotional Eating” Conversation with Dr. Deborah MacNamara
Manage episode 435514005 series 1031090
Have you ever struggled with family dinners, comfort foods, or getting your kids to eat? Or do you feel like you should be working harder to change your own eating habits? If you answered yes, then this episode just might help you make life-changing connections that have been elusive for years.
In this conversation with parenting expert Dr. Deborah MacNamara, we explore how food connects to our deep need for belonging, why there’s no such thing as a “picky eater,” and the many ways we can heal our relationships with food, fullness, and needing other people.
We discuss:
- The difference between attachment and belonging
- What Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is missing
- How to focus on receptivity in relationships with our kids
- Why food is often the place our relationship dynamics play out
- The surprising connection between food, fullness, and vulnerability
- Self-soothing vs satiation
- Why feelings are different than emotions
- The problematic invasiveness of “work mode”
- Experimenting with being “needy” so we can learn to depend on others
More about our guest: Dr. Deborah MacNamara is the author of two books, Nourished: Connection, food and caring for our kids (and everyone else we love), and Rest, Play, Grow: Making sense of preschoolers (or anyone who acts like one). She is on Faculty at the Neufeld Institute and the Director of Kid’s Best Bet counselling.
