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.

To find out more about Emily and her EFT work, you can find her on Instagram @wearemindbody, or find links to all Emily's work here: https://linktr.ee/wearemindbody.

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.
