What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode, Philippe Tahon, a seasoned psychotherapist and coach, tackles a surprising topic: the idea that being overweight can feel like a safety net for some. With over 18 years of experience, Philippe has developed an innovative approach to weight loss that delves into the intricate relationship between self-image, weight, and addiction. Philippe shares compelling stories of individuals whose bodies have unconsciously adapted to protect them from emotional harm.
Imagine a woman who gains weight to shield herself from her critical mother's judgments or a man who finds solace in food after being bullied. These are not just tales of weight gain but reflections of deeper emotional struggles. The episode explores how our bodies remember past experiences, shaping how safe we feel in the world. Philippe offers gentle guidance on how to begin loosening these protective patterns without shame.
He encourages listeners to embrace awareness over judgment, build safety through connection, and work with their bodies instead of against them. Philippe's empathetic approach shines through as he suggests that real healing involves acknowledging fears and taking small, respectful steps towards change. If you've ever felt that losing weight is harder than it should be, this episode might offer the perspective shift you need.
So, what might your body be trying to protect you from, and how can you help it feel safe enough to let go?
