Description: Episode 42: The Two Wolves Parable
Dr. Nina explores the Cherokee parable of the two wolves as a way of exploring the different parts of ourselves, that we may label "negative" or "positive." She shows how inner conflict can lead to binge eating or using food to escape.
We all have good and bad within, and the idea is to find balance. Instead of trying to get rid of certain parts of yourself, both literally (weight loss) and figuratively (feelings and thoughts), it's necessary to accept yourself and come to terms with being perfectly imperfect.
