Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) for Eating Disorders

In this weeks episode, Han is joined by Emily from We Are Mind Body.

In this weeks episode, we discuss:

  • Emily's experience of having an eating disorder and her recovery, and how that led to her starting We Are Mind Body.

  • Other coping mechanisms that can be used in recovery, particularly turning to alcohol and how this is normalised within society.

  • What EFT is, how it originated, and the current research surrounding it.

  • We speak specifically about the research surrounding EFT in eating disorders, and the current focus on craving work and weight loss strategies.

  • How Emily sees EFT being used in eating disorders, such as anxiety e.g. fear foods or binge eating, trauma, memories, and core beliefs.

  • We end with a live EFT session for you to try along to! Check out Instagram if you would like to watch this snippet.

Please note that this topic discusses eating disorder behaviours and a reliance on alcohol that some listeners may find challenging. Please check in with yourself along the way and note that this podcast should not be replaced with therapeutic support.
