Food, the Brain and Empathy

This teleseminar explores the way the brain dances with compulsive eating and with the experience of food.  We will look at specifics that contribute to a relationship with food that may have less choice than we enjoy, and we look at our general patterns of eating.  What happens when we slow the moments of less than full choice down and add empathy and a connection to the body?  Lively, interactive presentation with visuals.
