by Jennifer Taitz PsyD (Author), Debra L. Safer MD (Foreword)
If you eat to help manage
your emotions, you may have discovered that it doesn’t work. Once you’re
done eating, you might even feel worse. Eating can all too easily
become a strategy for coping with depression, anxiety, boredom, stress,
and anger, and a reliable reward when it’s time to celebrate.
If
you are ready to experience emotions without consuming them or being
consumed by them, the mindfulness, acceptance, and dialectical behavior
therapy (DBT) skills in End Emotional Eating can help. This book
does not focus on what or how to eat—rather, these scientifically
supported skills will teach you how to manage emotions and urges
gracefully, live in the present moment, learn from your feelings, and
cope with distress skillfully.
This book has been awarded The
Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of
Merit — an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are
consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that
incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental
health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our

their lives.
