Today, I'm diving into a big topic that's been coming up with many of my clients: recognizing and responding to our automatic, reflexive thoughts about food and body image issues.

These thoughts are deeply ingrained and often feel uncontrollable, and while we can't stop them from happening we can learn to respond to them. Listen in for exactly how to do that:

• Understanding the automatic thoughts about food and body image.

• Separating our autonomous selves from our brain's reflexes.

• How acknowledging these thoughts can lead to more productive responses

• Skills and techniques to handle reflexive thoughts.

• How these concepts apply beyond food and body image.

Our bodies and brains are capable of adapting and changing to the input we give them—where you are now is not where you will be forever.
