Episode Description
Have you ever stopped to consider why a simple compliment can brighten your day? Maybe you yearn for recognition of your kindness, talents, appearance, or intelligence. It’s natural to want approval, but what happens when this need for external validation dictates how you feel about yourself? When our self-worth depends on the opinions of others, it can lead to a surprising and destructive consequence: binge eating. This pattern can be incredibly difficult to break free from on your own. That's why in this episode of The Binge Cure with Dr. Nina on VoiceAmerica, I dive deep into the connection between approval-seeking and binge eating. Explore the psychological roots of this behavior and get practical strategies for building a more resilient, self-assured sense of self. Don't miss this opportunity to overcome both approval-seeking and binge eating. -------------------- For a deeper dive grab your copy of my bestselling book, The Binge Cure: 7 Steps to Outsmart Emotional Eating.
