Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating disorder can make you feel intense feelings of shame and self-loathing for the way you secretly binge on vast amounts of food, even when you are not hungry, to the point of feeling uncomfortably full.

A difficult day at work, a bust-up with a loved one or just a feeling that your life is dull and boring can all be triggers that cause you to binge eat. At some point you have learnt that eating certain treat foods give you an instant surge of pleasure and a release from the difficult, painful and uncertain feelings you feel. However, this is quickly followed by feelings of guilt and being disgusted for your overeating.

You are likely to follow a Binge Eating episode with extreme dieting for several days to make up for it. This may well cause you to have intense cravings for sugar and can cause a physiological drive making you susceptible for another binge episode.

Treatment

Our focus is to unearth what triggers cause you to binge eat, to help you build new ways of coping with the emotions these events bring, and to help you develop new thinking styles to deal with life in a positive and empowering way.

2. We will show you how to break habits and create new behaviours in your life and around food

6. We will help you create a new relationship with your body image and the way you believe other people see you
7. We will help you balance the many aspects of your life so that you have low feelings of stress and that you are able to enjoy regular activity to help you manage your weight
