The Kitchen Shrink: how the food we eat reveals who we are and how we love

English

By (author): Dr Andrea Oskis

There is no better way to understand ourselves and our relationships with others than through what we eat.

Me: When did you know he didnt love you anymore?
My patient: It wasnt 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 peoples 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 isnt a good idea when youre stressed
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.
