How anger affects emotional eating

Jessica Procini | Escape From Emotional Eating

“Anger is like water. No matter how hard you try to dam, divert, or deny it, it will find a way, usually…through your body, eating habits, and relationships.” 

This is a quote from a book I have been studying this year with a handful of close colleagues and my mentor called, Rage Becomes Her: The Power Of Women’s Anger by Soraya Chemaly. 

While I have come a long, long way in my relationship with my emotions (especially anger), I am still a student in the process.  

However, it wasn’t until I started healing my emotional eating with focused intention that I honestly realized the magnitude I would go to bottle up my anger…

How much I would recklessly try to extinguish it (and therefore, myself) with food… 

And how in doing so, it had corroded my relationship with my body and mind

Back then, when I thought food was the only way to cope with this overwhelming world, I had the awareness that the beginning steps of my healing journey would require me to get back in touch with my emotions… to FEEL my anger… ugh. 

But I was so, so scared. 

I was frozen stiff that if I really let her rip, I would torch the entire town… and no one would make it out alive, including myself. 

Or worse: I was petrified that someone would see or know I was angry, and then I would be shamed, ridiculed, and ostracized. 

Long story short, this is exactly why I created the powerful process and tools (that I now teach my clients) called Digesting Emotions® and The Anger Flush™. 

Having and using these tools felt like the safety net I needed, especially in the beginning. 

Instead of fearing, ignoring, or eating my anger, I had tools I could reach for (no matter where I was or what was going on) to purge, process, own, and ultimately transform my emotional energy into personal power. 

The more I used these tools, the more I experienced an increase in my self-esteem, self-worth, self-love, and body image. 

And I see the same thing happen to each of my clients. 

So, if you’ve never been taught healthy, doable ways to manage and move through difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences…
