Food Addiction Recovery – #45

For food addiction recovery I recommend reading a couple of classics titled Your Erroneous Zones and Pulling Your Own Strings, by Wayne Dyer, Ph.D. These books are available at most bookstores, online at www.amazon.com and probably at your public library. Highlight parts of the books that have to do with you if it is your book. Once you have read them, you will be looking back frequently to refresh your memory on your personal erroneous zones. Dr. Dyer has created books that are designed for the general public based on the work of one of the most important psychologists of the late twentieth century, Dr. Albert Ellis.

Dr. Ellis created a form of psychotherapy call Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). It involves controlling your feelings and behavior through controlling your thoughts. Feelings and behavior come from your thoughts and beliefs not from the events that happen in your life. You can go to the Albert Ellis Institute website and read more about his work and what they have available to the general public. I would also recommend food addicts read his book The Art & Science of Rational Eating.

Dr. Ellis and his team back in the mid-1970s trained me, and I can assure you they know what they are doing. I’ve spent a great deal of time reading, training and using the work of Dr. Ellis in my life, with my food addiction recovery and with other people. I certainly know his work can make a big difference to you. If you want more help in this arena, feel free to contact me.
