I have read many books on the subject of emotional eating and had first discovered Robin when trying to find out more on Eating Awareness Training.
Even if you think you "know" everything logically, or have read it - the connection with yourself is more powerful than any logical thought, and that is where, in my opinion, Robin is very effective.
She teaches you how to become aware of the strongest tool you will ever carry with you, your own body. No matter where you are physically, emotionally or mentally, you are exactly where you need to be.
It actually feels like she is "reintroducing" you to yourself, again. That with all the distractions of day to day life, it is ok to turn inward, and be still and listen to what you need.
Robin teaches you how to take those parts of yourself that you thought were “bad/shameful/unworthy”, which is at the heart of any type of addiction, and realize that they are actually the parts that will help you grow into the best you could ever be.
It is a scary process to put yourself in someone’s hands to help you to help yourself. It involves that you trust that the person has your best interests, at heart.
Robin truly has proven to be that type of person, for me.
She works side-by-side, with you, as a trusted partner, with whatever situation that arises in your own life, to show you how to integrate self-soothing, emotional safety resources, so that you do not turn to self-harming behaviors (mindful eating is her speciality – however, the techniques could easily be applied to any thing you may be struggling with).
In the end, it really is all about you, and Robin truly knows this and helps you to help yourself.
