What is Emotional Metabolism - Emily Rosen

2014-09-24 45

Our metabolism is the process by which we take the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, and all the substances that enter our body – and transmute them into needed fuel and building blocks for biologic survival – while neutralizing whatever it is that’s toxic to human form and function.

Most of us know about nutritional metabolism, but we also have other powerful metabolic systems that too often, we tend to ignore. One of these is our Emotional Metabolism.

This term affirms that the constant flux of emotions we experience must be digested, processed, integrated, and sometimes excreted just like the food that we eat. Our emotional metabolism is the part of us that does its best to take in the emotions that work for us, while protecting against the kinds of emotions that bring us down.

In this video, Emily Rosen explores the relationship between emotional metabolism and eating behaviors such as overeating, binge eating, and that thing we call “emotional eating.” You’ll come away with a new perspective on the power and importance of a healthy, functioning emotional metabolism!
