Thank you. Your help in clarifying how the inner child can operate and how to address that dysfunction is invaluable. You both deserve a medal for services to humanity. X
My Mum gave me food if I was happy sad any situation always food. It was all out of guilt that she couldn't give me other things and give me the attention I should have had from her. I am quitting emotional eating. These videos are so amazing and real xx
This describes me a lot I started emotional eating for various reasons when I was younger -> boredom,happy,sadness, dissatisfaction with myself I've resolved most of those issues but I find myself eating when I feel the emptiness of boredom. My impulse always seems to win, but I'm gonna work on it It tends to feel like an urge or an impulse now and it can happen at any time To think I used to have pretty decent self control before it got dysregulated But I'm thinking now I'm worth it so I should try and really bear down and break through Thanks I need to learn to combat my boredom / emptiness more creatively. I have some chronic illnesses so I struggle with physical activity to replace the eating to make me feel better so I would just eat because I was like this is the only thing I can do to feel better. but I'm gonna find a low energy output way to full up myself - to combat my illness and boredom I've started meditating But I think I may learn to draw as well. Thank you Hopefully we have a breakthrough❤ All the best everyone
Hi, Thank you for sharing your story so openly-it takes courage to reflect on these patterns and commit to change. It’s wonderful that you’re already seeing your worth and acknowledging that you deserve to break through these habits. Emotional eating can be deeply rooted in how we respond to boredom and dissatisfaction, but your awareness is a powerful first step. Since physical activity is challenging due to your chronic illnesses, creative outlets like drawing and meditation are excellent choices. These activities help redirect your energy and bring moments of stillness and fulfillment without the need to turn to food. You might also try simple practices like deep breathing, journaling, or listening to calming music as ways to reconnect when urges arise. Over time, these methods can become part of your toolkit to manage impulses and fill moments of emptiness with meaningful engagement. Know that this journey is about progress, not perfection. Each mindful choice you make is a step toward inner harmony. You’re absolutely worth the effort, and breakthroughs are possible with persistence and compassion for yourself.

I’ve a history of disordered eating and two stints in rehab for it. I do well now and eat real, Whole Foods, no longer restrict, and take good care of my body. But, at times, I want to comfort eat. I watched the video once already and I’m back again in the thick of wanting to get my favorite snack and dive in after a challenging, discouraging day. I was on my to a nearby store when I got distracted by a call. Then I remembered the video and I came back here to use the tools that you teach. Thank you for creating this video.
I comfort myself with big cups of hot tea. The warmth and volume gives me a feeling of fullness and comfort. I use a bit of artificial sweetener but no milk. I am working on finding a soothing tea that is naturally sweet. As we age we also confuse thirst with hunger. Drinking lots of water ensures that we are hydrated.
Hi Judith, thanks for watching and sharing your own experience. It sounds like you are taking positive self-responsibility for nurturing yourself. You are worth it! Alex & David x
I know I eat when my inner child is fearful for me doing amazing things. My fearful child doesn’t want me to shine in my true shen. That said this video reminds me that I can choose to just “STOP IT”. Thank you. I’m sure I’ll be rewatching this video.
I am totally going to be talking about your RUclips on my Instagram! I love this stuff and I know it’s going to help so many, myself included! Thank you so much for everything that you do. 😊🙏
My inner child has run my eating habits for ever! Now I can address her need to engage with fad diets, eating regimes, self sabotage with eating and the whole 9 yards. So now I can speak to my child and ask her.....how does your obsession with food, diet and detox programmers help your emotional issues.
Yes she has answered my question. Her drive via food is to get my attention.....the way she has always pushed me and not allowed me to rest or relax in life also relates to her relentless efforts to get me to pay attention to her. Now I do. She is very happy and I get to rest, relax in life and moderate everything I do without feeling anxious or driven. I can eat without obsessing. I can be relaxed during my daily activities. It’s very different and very nice! I parent her now so that she feels secure and doesn’t feel she has to rule the roost!
Hi! Always great work...however, I agree with 75%...maybe 70% of what you're saying because the physiological mechanisms that affect appetite, fullness and hunger are missing here. Recent studies show that the body, when stressed with emotions, releases a plethora of hormones causing one to binge sort of speak...especially on carbs! Check out cortisol, neuropeptide Y, and dopamine when you have a chance. So the lady you spoke of in the beginning was at the mercy of her hormones due to her thinking; her body was "making" her crave. Have great day! I will use the wu wei teachings as part of my practice (Registered Dietitian/Nutrition Counselor). Caio!

For me food is like a friend. I was brought up in a very unstable environment. My Dad was agrophobic and more issues on top of that. My mum basically had 2 children plus him so like 3 children. He kept me away from family as he didnt trust ANYONE with me. He was unbearably over protective. I see food as a person. Someone who was always there for me when I needed them and it was comforting. Now I have people who I can talk to but not very open at all. Feels like if I give it up I'm saying thanks for everything you got me through but now I dont need you. It's very strange but real to me. I am getting there
Hi Kirsty, I am pleased to read that you are getting there, well done! I would ask you to concentrate on your first sentence: 'For me food is like a friend' , as I say in many videos the Golden Thread Process and asking the 'why?' question to dig deeper can be used on the first statement. We explain more about the Golden Thread Process in this video: ruclips.net/video/9XuoL9pQSR8/видео.html David

Hi David and Alex, have yet to find a video of yours that doesn't have any effect on me, thank you so much for all you share with is, still have lots of work to. 😁 Was wondering if you could do one on stopping smoking as well. Have tried everything but to no avail so far. xxxxx
Hi Angie, thanks for your kind feedback. We're pleased to hear you are still enjoying our videos! We've added your suggestion to our future video list. Wishing you a lovely week ahead.... x
The practical tips are good. Going to try. I feel I have this problem partially "licked"...pardon the pun, but there are those times...and yes, I see it is when I am tired or bored or otherwise unable to parent my inner child properly. Thanks for speaking specifically to this issue. Unlike alcohol or tobacco food cannot be given up...dealing with it in a healthy way is vitally important.
Hi Carla - thanks for taking time out to watch and share your story. We appreciate it! Yes, food can be more of a challenge than alcohol/tobacco as there is no 'all or nothing' (and the Human Centred Mind prefers the all or nothing approach!) Hopefully now you understand the process and are enjoying parenting your Inner Child the journey on this will become easier. :)

Once I make good progress, am exhausted or upset, I reward myself with eating wrong stuff. I actually think reward or oh I deserve it before buying and eating the chocolates etc.
i love you guys. i have the same issue with emotional eating for ages, it numbs the feeling of being not good enough, and i know it's a lie... but why does my man always go to talk to other women online? :( it's a problem i cannot fix
Hi Thalia Thanks for watching and sharing your story. This is about honouring yourself and valuing your integrity. Do not be emotionally affected by how others act, this is not a reflection on you but them. Focus on your journey - you are awesome! Alex & David x
Thank you for this video. I was given food as a child to shut me up. I now shut myself up by giving myself food. I am going to stop it! Is my nail biting habit the same? Sometimes I catch myself biting my nails and get so upset with myself!! Thank you for any input.
I am not exactly sure what to ask and how to connect to my innerchild in overeating situations. Please, help me with another suggestions and questions to ask myself to clear up my foggy thinking. I appreciate you. I dont want to stop eating after 6pm no matter how full I am.
Very good video! I want to say that I have tried lot of stuff, including the Journaling, it works for a while then I get back to it, the emotional eating. Is it a sign for deeper issues? Thanks! I will reserve a session with David, try to see what I can get!
Hi Omar Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, it is a sign of a deeper issue that needs to be addressed and resolved - but this IS possible and it is worth doing this 'work' as you are awesome and should honour your divine nature. We have received your email for a session booking and Alex will contact you soon. Thank you ~ David
Great video. I do comfort eat. If find it worse when my blood sugar drops. I have reactive hypoglycemia, and when it drops low (if I was out and couldn't get access to food), I crave sugar/bad carbs. It complicates trying to eat healthy. I'm trying to get back to the paleo way of eating, and it is very hard. Any advice? I also have food allergies and find it hard to eat out and I don't always remember to take something with me.
I’ve been doing the Golden Needle and meditation. I keep finding and resolving issues with my inner child. How long before the red lights go away. Is it possible to be in a place where you don’t get red lights anymore and how does that feel?
I need to add that I used to eat overeat unhealthy foods but after surviving cancer I became vegan and for the past two years I’ve been overeating organic healthy foods. But the problem still exists. Help
I'm so pleased that got through cancer, well done.
Yes, biting nails and overeating can have to same root cause and connection.
It is about putting the avoidances on hold and doing the deeper work of discovering the thinking and beliefs that are creating the emotional disturbance.

How do you find the real underlying issues of emotional eating? What steps are recommended?

Hi Bonnie,
Thanks for your comments.
I agree in your case it is doubly hard to be in control of your diet and food take.
As you say it is so important to maintain good blood sugar levels.
The best guidance I can share is to address and resolve any outstanding emotional issues that are clouding up this process.
This is definitely the time when YOU have to be in control, NOT your emotions.
Please let us know if we can help any further.
