Episode 187: Meet Diane Petrella, Author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors

July 31, 2024 • Connie Stapleton, Ph.D. • Episode 187

This podcast episode is absolutely one of my favorite ever! It was a complete honor talking with Diane Petrella, author of Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors. Diane has been a therapist for the past 40 years and is a therapist anyone would be fortunate to work with! Her years of experience led to her writing the incredible book, Healing Emotional Eating for Trauma Survivors. Not only did I learn some new information reading this book, I was so encouraged by the compassionate, creative strategies Diane presented for dealing with emotional eating. The book is a must read and this interview is a must-share – so please do that and share it with anyone you know who struggles with emotional eating. Let’s get started.
