Food as an Emotional Escape - Vol. 2

This book was born out of the need to give voice to something many feel but few can name: the connection between our emotions and the act of eating. Food as an Emotional Escape is an anthology that delves into the deepest layers of eating behavior, revealing how we often seek in food the comfort we lack, the embrace that never came, the silence that screams within us.

Each chapter is an invitation to reflection and self-discovery. Psychologists, therapists, writers, and ordinary people share here their stories, experiences, and insights about a universal phenomenon: the use of food as anesthesia for unnamed pains, as a response to emotional emptiness, stifled anxieties, and unhealed traumas.

This is not a book about diets, calories, or beauty standards. It is a book about affections. About meals that serve the heart more than the stomach. About a hunger that does not come from the body, but from the soul.

We hope that, by recognizing yourself in some of these stories, you may feel embraced-not to blame yourself, but to understand yourself. Because before transforming habits, it is necessary to listen to what they are trying to say.
