Identify Emotions
You can use questionnaires, look at photos over your lifetime, or even just think about what foods were special in your childhood, in order to identify the emotions that are important now in the present. Emotional eating is a shortcut way of dealing with the negative emotions from which Sgt Amy is protecting you. These emotions are unconscious. Experiencing emotions is not a mental illness, nor is watching a video therapy.
Try it for Yourself!
Choose a comfort food, the physical setting, including the time of day, the scene, note how strong you want to eat that food in this scenario and what emotion you expect to experience. Go deeper than feeling relaxed! The emotion is related to survival needs, thinking of the three-year-old that needs to be loved, special enough to be looked after, fed, belong so they are safe and protected as part of the "herd".

Childhood Beginnings of Emotional Eating
What happened in your childhood that started the emotional eating?
Sometimes it is difficult to identify what the positive emotion is in the present, so I needed to go back to the past. I then considered what role each of my comfort foods played in my life as a child. This way I found the positive emotion and what I wanted to believe about myself and also the negative emotions I did not want to feel and the negative beliefs about myself i didn't want to know. The more difficult your childhood was the more important these special foods become.
Healthy Ways of Experiencing your positive emotions
Create a record or portfolio of when you have experienced the positive emotions you have found you were accessing using comfort foods. Keep it handy and up-to-date. Note the everyday things you do, the achievements over your lifetime, the synchronicity evident in the everyday, the beauty of nature around you.

Carolyn recognised that during COVID - 19 she had not been keeping her portfolio up to date with how she could gain her positive emotions in a healthy non comfort eating way, and after disconnecting her new comfort food from the emotions of being safe, she was able to address her needs more proactively.
Dealing with anger
The function of emotional eating or of any addiction is to deal with negative emotions at a subconscious level. When you are no longer addicted, you then can become consciously aware of those negative feelings. When you become aware of those emotions like anger, what do you do? This video shows you how to use a technique called "Flash".
The Flash Technique
You learned how to use the Flash Technique with anger in the previous video. In this video you can apply the technique to any events or memories or feelings in the same way. Remember that if you have a mental illness you should talk to your therapist for guidance.
