126. But I Keep Catastrophizing!
Manage episode 389166788 series 2969132
Catastrophizing things like what we've eaten or how much weight we've gained (for example) can often led to despair or fear-based decision-making. In this conversation, we explore what catastrophization is, why we do it, and strategies to deal with it. We also discuss:
- Feelings of catastrophization post binge
- "Meta-eating" as a version of catastrophizing (meta-eating is Stef's terminology for eating more because you're upset that you're eating)
- What's the problem with catastrophizing, ultimately?
- What are we supposed to DO when we feel this way? What can help?
- The role of doubt
- Reality testing -- is is smart to compare our fears to realities, especially when it comes to body image?
- Is it easier to catastrophize than to feel things?
- Somatic Experiencing and Nervous System Regulation Course (for beginners - starts January 29 2024): COURSE DETAILS
