Finding Balance: Craig Spear on Tackling Overeating and Over-Drinking
“It's all about changing that story, changing that script that you've got about yourself, because you know, like in my notes here, I'm thinking, that when we self-sabotage is because we're trying to prove some kind of unconscious belief that we have about ourselves.”
Ever wondered how your eating habits might mirror your drinking patterns?
