Welcome to the Afternoon Show Blog – on today’s show Gavin Grace discussed the issue of comfort eating. Róisín Finnegan is a trainee Clinical Psychologist at NUI Galway and joined to talk about a new research project at NUI Galway, which aims to better understand the underlying causes of comfort eating, which may stem from childhood. Comfort or emotional eating happens when we are not hungry but perhaps in need of stress relief or a reward.
