Did you know there was a correla- tion between abortion and excess weight? Abortion is something that women, and men, punish themselves for, and weight is one of the classic ways to exact that pun- ishment. We punish ourselves with weight for other life mistakes as well, or for simply not being perfect or “good enough”. I’ll go out on a limb and say that this last one is what most of my weight release clients struggle with. It’s very diffi cult for your body to present as “good enough” when inside you believe you’re not, so that’s one of the fi rst places we focus the work – building self-confi dence, self-esteem and body respect.

Fortunately, your subconscious mind can easily identify and disconnect the connections your mind has made around food and free you to make conscious and healthy choices instead of repeating those unhealthy choices over and over.
Crucial Component Number 4: Identify Your Emotional Drivers
We all experience a wide range of
emotions every day. As a society, we’ve never been taught the purpose of our emotions or how to deal with them.
