"I finally lost the weight, but I still hate my body."
Curious about the real impact of weight loss pills like Ozempic and Wegovy? Esther Kane, a seasoned psychotherapist, takes us on a journey to understand why these medications might not be the magical solution they're often touted as. Instead of just focusing on the physical aspects of weight loss, Esther digs deeper into the emotional and psychological layers that accompany our relationship with food.
Through heartfelt stories from her clients, she illustrates how relying solely on medication can leave you feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. Esther shares the story of Sarah, a woman who experienced initial success with weight loss medication, only to find herself emotionally numb and back to old habits once the medication stopped. It's a powerful reminder that true healing involves more than just shedding pounds. Esther argues that emotional eating isn't just about hunger—it's about seeking comfort and connection.
When medication silences these needs, it can lead to a deeper internal conflict. For those struggling with emotional eating, Esther offers a roadmap to healing that doesn't rely on quick fixes. She emphasises the importance of learning to regulate emotions, addressing early trauma, practising self-compassion, and building trust with your body. These steps are vital for achieving lasting peace with food and your body.
This episode is a compassionate exploration of the complexities of emotional eating and the pitfalls of quick-fix solutions. Esther's insights offer hope and guidance for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their relationship with food. So, are you ready to explore what you're truly hungry for?
