Dr. Nina Savelle-Rocklin Psy.D joined Lon September 16, 2016 to talk about "Cracking the Code of Emotional Eating." Dr. Nina is a Psychoanalyst, author of Food for Thought, produces the online program Kick the Diet Habit and is located in the Los Angeles area. As a teen, she started seeing a therapist about teen problems she had but didn't say a word about her struggles with food. The therapist helped her with many issues, but despite Dr. Nina never mentioning her eating problems, they just went away and never came back. She realized her eating problems had been a symptom of her other problems. Her goal ever since has been to share this insight with as many clients as she could. Her final advice to those struggling with diets and food is to not be critical of themselves but to realize food has become a self-harming attempt to help herself.
