via How Does Writing Help Us Heal?
Okay, this blog is somewhat self-promoting, because Julie de Rohan mentions me in her post. But the topic is so relevant and I agree so strongly with the the concept that I want to share it with my readers as well.
Julie is a psychotherapist in the U.K. who works with clients who struggle with overeating issues. As this is a struggle I have faced (and also probably 70% of the women I know) I always find her writing and insights to be right on target.
I have recently re-listened to a favorite resource on this topic, an Audible book by Geneen Roth called Women, Food and God. Every time I explore another layer of this issue, I realize how much relationship with food is a microcosm of my beliefs about the world. But not until I excavated this issue in my writing and my meditations did I start feeling peace toward it.
Thanks so much for exploring this issue, Julie. You write about it (and many other topics we share in common) in such an accessible way.

I believe in all she mentioned: help us understand & feel & re-think or seeing things differently:)
Great share 👍👍

Hi Cristy, I too am a big fan of Geneen Roth – reading her books helped me so much with my own issues. I also really like Karen Koenig, her book “The Rules of Normal Eating” is one I recommend time and again to my clients. Thank you for sharing my post and for your kind words.

Julie, thank you. I shall look for Karen Koenig’s work – I appreciate the reference. This has been an interest of mine for decades and I love to pass on resources that have helped me in case they can help others as well.
