Episode 211: What If Binge Eating Really Does Feel Like Coping?
What if binge eating feels like a way to cope with emotional pain? In this episode, Kathryn explores why you don’t have to deny the temporary relief or distraction bingeing may provide in order to recover. She explains how emotional pain can trigger urges without making those urges meaningful, and why dismissing urges can actually give you more freedom to cope in healthier ways. Most importantly, you’ll learn that you do not have to handle every emotion perfectly before you can stop bingeing.
