Hope & Healing for Food Addiction: A Guide to Holistic Recovery
$25
Some people eat simply because they’re hungry, others eat because they enjoy the tastes, but for a growing number of people, food is a self-prescribed medication to try to cure loneliness, heartache, fear, hurt, and shame. As a medication, food is very effective, but only for a moment or two… and the side effects are devastating. When someone becomes fixated on using food to numb emotional pain and provide a fleeting moment of comfort, it’s more than just a small problem — it’s a food addiction.
In this workbook, Dr. Rhona Epstein shares her own struggles with food addiction, and she offers a path forward, not just to curb habits of eating too much of the wrong things, but even more, to fill hearts with God’s love, forgiveness, acceptance, and hope so we no longer use food to give us relief and comfort — two things only God can truly give.
For a growing number of people, food becomes a way to cope with loneliness, heartache, fear, hurt, and shame. It may provide a moment of comfort, but it cannot heal the pain beneath the surface. When someone repeatedly turns to food to numb emotional distress, the struggle can become much more than an unhealthy habit.
In this Christian food addiction workbook, Dr. Rhona Epstein draws from more than thirty years of clinical experience as well as her own recovery journey. Designed for clinicians and clients to work through together, it addresses the needs of the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
Readers will explore the underlying causes of food addiction, develop healthier ways to respond to emotional pain, and find lasting comfort in God’s love, forgiveness, acceptance, and hope.
