Healing Overeating with A Course in Miracles

Healing Overeating with A Course in Miracles

Author: Circle of Atonement February 23, 2026 Duration: 53:21

Overeating and food addiction are often hidden struggles—wrapped in shame, secrecy, and the exhausting cycle of "this will fix it" followed by guilt. Drawing on restored material from Helen Schucman's notes in the Complete and Annotated Edition of A Course in Miracles, Robert and Emily Perry explore the one powerful passage in the Course that directly mentions overeating—and what it reveals about the "scarcity fallacy." This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, ashamed, or alone around food—and for anyone facing any form of addiction.
