Pod #286: EFT For Self Medicating Behaviors w/ Manal Khalife

September 27, 2017 By Gene Monterastelli Leave a Comment

It is amazing how effective our system is at finding ways to feel better. When something is wrong (even when we aren't consciously aware of it), the system starts to take steps to feel better.

The problem is that our system is geared to react with short term solutions. Its only concern is to stop the discomfort right now, so it isn't motivated to make good long term choices.

For example, when I am highly stressed I start to crave ice cream (particularly cookies and cream flavor). When I eat the ice creamy goodness, my body is flooded with all the biochemicals that come along with digesting a lot of  sugar.

In the short term, I stop feeling overwhelmed. If I keep making these choices in the long term, it becomes very unhealthy.

In this conversation with Manal Khalife we talk about why we make self-medicating choices, the surprising types of self-medicating choices we can make, and how we can stop them.
