The Pressure Cooker: When Food Is the Only Outlet for Rage

Jun 9

In this episode, Alana dives deep into the often-unspoken experience of anger and rage, and how these powerful emotions can drive emotional eating, especially for women. She explores the difference between anger and rage, highlighting how societal conditioning encourages women to suppress these "hot" emotions—only for them to later erupt in our relationship with food. Through personal insight and compassionate guidance, Alana unpacks how unexpressed anger finds an outlet in overeating or controlling food, and how habits like binging and restriction can be silent protests against ignored needs and boundaries. Listeners can expect practical steps for naming and feeling anger, alternative ways to express these emotions, and encouragement to build healthier outlets beyond food.
