Can AI help you heal your emotional eating?
Recently, someone left a comment on one of my YouTube videos saying that she had used AI to help her find the root of her emotional eating.
As I was reading her message, she mentioned she’d never tried somatic work. What that told me was that, even though she had used a tool like AI to find what she believed was the root, it was still very much a cognitive understanding of her emotional eating.
AI can give you awareness. It can help you sort of pinpoint patterns. It’s pulling in a lot of knowledge from the internet, and it can help you. But ultimately, you are the authority on what is the actual root of your emotional eating.
What I’ve found with clients is that without doing the deeper work in your body, what you think is the root might not be the root of your pattern.
And finding the root of your emotional eating doesn’t equal healing. You actually have to heal the root of your emotional eating.
I’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with AI. I’m not someone that’s going to dismiss something without exploring it. AI is here, and it’s becoming integrated into everything. It’s much like the internet, imagine if we all said we would never use the internet. Naturally, you’re going to be curious about it.
AI is changing very rapidly, and I think it’s important to experiment with new tools to understand it’s capabilities and limitations. Especially with my line of work, where many people have started using AI almost like a therapist.
Even when I talk about emotional eating, I don’t think talk therapy is the route to healing emotional eating. I think AI is similar to talk therapy in that it can provide a great deal of awareness and insight. But both stop at the cognitive level. Healing emotional eating is not just an awareness issue. Awareness is the first step.
