Question:  I have recently heard the term ‘emotional eating’.  Is this a real term and if so, what does it really mean?  Sometimes when I am upset, I find myself eating lots of junk food.  How do my emotions affect what and when I eat?

Question:  In one of your recent columns, you spoke of group therapy as being one way of healing from childhood abuse.  Could you please tell me more about what goes on in group therapy and how it might be helpful?
