Good idea Jennifer and thank you for posting your question here!
what benefit is your client gaining by eating this way?
some things I’ve heard around compulsive eating – filling a void (emotional), boredom/no purpose, not filling time with things that are important (values), food=temporary comfort, protection/separation/detachment ….the list can go on and on obviously, because the fact that she hasn’t completely let the problem go could mean she doesn’t have a “healthier” way YET to get the same benefit this behavior has/is providing.
since you did a full breakthrough I don’t believe there’s any more cleanup work to do … possibly strategies to set her up for success in the future
anyone else have suggestions?
