'I was editor of Psychologies Magazine for a long time, and I've had a lot of books across my desk, but nothing like this! Dr Oskis shows us that what's on our plate speaks volumes about our hearts' Suzy Walker, Muddy Stilettos
There is no better way to understand ourselves and our relationships with others than through what we eat.
Me: 'When did you know he didn't love you anymore?'
My patient: 'It wasn't when we stopped having sex. No, it was when he stopped eating dinner with me.'
That was the lightbulb moment. That was when I discovered there is no better way to get inside people's lives than through their stories about food.
Did you know that the food we eat reveals a lot about how we love?
Psychologist Dr Andrea Oskis shows us how we connect with each other and how we can change our relationship 'recipes' for the better. Along the way, she also reveals her own food story about love and loss.
Inviting us into her therapy room, she tells us:
the real reason why comfort food comforts
why dessert isn't a good idea when you're stressed
what makes children feel obliged to eat their greens
why you should never give a bottle of hot sauce to someone who has been rejected
Be prepared to never look at your plate in the same way again.
