Numbing out with food usually just manifests as faster-paced eating, less breathing, less awareness about what you are doing and what you need, tension in the body (but you’re not paying attention to your body, so you probably don’t even notice the tension), and some sort of desire to shut down, escape, or run away from what’s happening or what you’re feeling. The good news is that the switch from numbing to feeling just requires a shift in awareness and intention, and a breath. That’s it.
