And the reason is simple: when we eat, we reliably feel better \u2013 no matter how fleeting those \u201cfeel-good\u201d feelings may be.  While many people intuitively understand that emotions play a key role in our eating habits, it can often be a lot harder to understand the emotions themselves. The truth is, our inner emotional world is fantastically complex, and influences our relationship with food in so many diverse and fascinating ways.  Which brings us to guest coaching client Beverley, 70, whose deepest desire is to understand the \u201cdark places\u201d inside herself that drive her to food \u2013 and to finally bring healing to the challenging emotions she\u2019s been feeling for over 50 years.  As Beverley shares with Marc David, she\u2019s never really been able to understand her negative feelings, where they came from, or why she has them.  Beverley reflects that she\u2019s had an \u201camazing life,\u201d with so many blessings. She\u2019s developed a fulfilling career as a theater director, helping young people develop their skills and confidence as an actor. She raised four incredible children of her own, and was, herself, born to a remarkable mother who always inspired and supported her.  And it\u2019s this latter feature of Beverley\u2019s life \u2013 her special bond with her mother \u2013 that is especially interesting. As Marc explores with Beverley, her love for her mother runs so deep, and a very real part of her \u2013 her Child Archetype, doesn\u2019t seem to want to let go. Even though Beverley\u2019s mom has long since passed away, a part of Beverley still wants to be her mother\u2019s daughter.   Her uncanny way of staying connected with her mom is by continuing to engage in a behavior \u2013 emotional eating \u2013 that she knows her mom would have always encouraged and supported her to not judge herself for. By turning to food and being childlike when it comes to soothing her emotions with eating, Beverley has found a way to symbolically stay connected to her mother.  As Marc reflects, sometimes our \u201cdark places\u201d aren\u2019t actually what they seem. They aren\u2019t actually dark, or sinister, or even flawed. They\u2019re just young parts of ourselves that hold onto a pattern out of fear of letting go of something \u2013 or someone \u2013 we love.  So be sure to tune into this powerful, wise, and heartfelt session that highlights the mother-daughter connection when it comes to food, and how we can continue to learn, grow and transform at any age in life.
