What about people that have a negative feedback loop with food? Such as people with avoid/restrict eating disorder that associate foods with making them sick and so they get in a neurobiological loop of certain foods = bad reaction (even hives). No one talks about this… it’s always about being addicted to food. If essentially neurons that fire together wire together, then how does one change the biological connection and emotional connection that certain foods = bad things happening instead of satisfying things? Usually these people have experienced a traumatic event and we there is an emotional component that I believe is similar to food addiction, but the neurobiology of it seems very different.
I'd love to hear Dr Brewer's reply to this. Could be be possible that the decoupling effect of mindfulness could also work for negative association? You take in the bare data without the whole story of history associated with it. Using the senses to experience the food as a beginner? ( Beginner's mind) . Dropping the cognitive component and experiencing it without the conditioning
