This YouTube talk (by Joy Kong, MD) addresses how emotional triggers, codependency, and people-pleasing drive emotional eating and food addiction. The speaker emphasizes that triggers are invitations to self-reflection (a "mirror") rather than evidence against the triggering person, and underscores the role of boundary-setting in recovery.

What is it in me? There's. There was codependency, there's people pleasing man, people pleasers. We are very emotional, very much emotional eaters, because we're pleasing and we won't. We won't honor ourselves. Right, and have boundaries. So it's always about just looking at the trigger and what is coming up. And it's always an invitation for a mirror for us to look at ourselves. So it's never about the person that triggered you.
