Do you come home from Christmas events and suddenly feel an overwhelming urge to eat — even when you’re not physically hungry?

If you find yourself raiding the pantry after socialising, masking, hosting, or holding it together for hours… you are not alone, and you are not doing anything wrong.

In Day 8 of 10 Days of Healing, we unpack the psychology behind post-event emotional eating a pattern driven not by lack of willpower, but by social exhaustion, sensory overload, emotional suppression, and the crash that happens once you're finally home and safe.

You’ll learn how masking, overstimulation, unmet needs, people-pleasing, and emotional fatigue create rebound urges that your brain misinterprets as hunger.

This episode gives you a deeply supportive strategy The Post-Event Decompression Ritual to soothe your nervous system before food becomes your coping mechanism.
