Our skin crawls when we are disgusted and our heart feels like it is about to burst when we are full of joy. We are left breathless in the face of beauty and our stomach drops when we receive a fright or shock. These expressions are not a coincidence.

Many of us have a complicated relationship with food. Most of us have at some point been on a form of diet and for many more of us, the relationship we have with our bodies is a constant struggle between dissatisfaction, ignoring it, and paying a lot of (self-conscious and/or self-critical) attention to it. What might patterns of overeating or restrictive diets be reflecting about our emotional health?
