Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating affects people of different age, gender and cultural background. Evidence suggests that it is the most common of eating disorders in the UK.
It often involves consuming large quantities of food in a short amount of time until feeling physically uncomfortable. There is usually a sense of loss of control followed by guilt and shame. If this resonates please know that I understand your struggle.
My mission is to help people improve their relationship with food and find freedom. My passion comes from past experience of my own food struggles and realising that healing comes from taking a holistic approach that takes into account physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
For some people binge eating stems from dieting while for others there is a psychological trigger.
I believe that listening and establishing a connection between mind and body is most helpful in recovery. This involves understanding some simple physiological processes in the body, habits, belief systems and how they play a role when it comes to your eating.
You may feel alone, hopeless and ashamed too many times and I want you to know that it is not your fault. It is nothing to do with lack of discipline, it's the way your brain is operating at the moment.
The good news is that this can be changed.
Latest scientific findings from neuroscience show that the brain is a muscle that can be changed to lead us to better choices and consequences. This means that you can change your eating and instead of being ruled by food you come to a place of choice and freedom.
Healing from the binge eating - diet cycle is about creating new ways of relating to food that honour both your physical and mental health. If you are looking to find peace with food and nurture your body and mind in ways that support you rather than work against you feel free to contact me.
