In this Patient Power program, Howard Farkas, PhD joins host Andrew Schorr to discuss an innovative approach to help patients identify the most common patterns of thinking and behavior that lead to emotional eating and then learning how to change them. Dr. Farkas speaks about the importance of maintaining balance and emphasizes issues of self-restraint, self-indulgence and self-control. He goes into detail about the behavioral factors associated with overeating and the effects of stress. Overeating is an addiction, just like drugs or alcohol, and sometimes in the process of regaining control, one addiction is replaced with another.
