Online Therapy for Binge Eating in California
Ending compulsive overeating and gaining freedom from shame and guilt is possible.
Just when you thought you had it under control, another binge happens. Now you are likely caught in another shame spiral afraid to ask for help. That urge to comfort or distract yourself with food works in the moment, but the binge often leaves you not only feeling uncomfortably full — you often end up angry at yourself, confused about why you binged again, and hopeless about recovering. Your binge eating may be a compulsive habit that developed over time, or a way to cope with overwhelming feelings like loneliness or emptiness.
You are not alone! Most people don’t realize the Binge Eating Disorder is the most common type of eating disorder. At Kindful Body, we know that getting help is important to healing, regardless of what is underlying your binge eating. Whether you are struggling to get enough calories for fear of overeating, you have a health condition, such as diabetes or high cholesterol, or you are beginning to see the health effects of your binging behaviors, there is help and freedom from the cycle of bingeing and shame. Our eating disorder therapists and dietitians are here to guide and support you along the way.
Common Signs You are Struggling with Binge Eating
This is nothing to be ashamed of, but it is important to recognize that you need support. Often, we find that people are aware something is not right, however, asking for help may feel like a sign of weakness or failure. After all, you should be able to handle this on your own. Right?! That actually couldn’t be further from the truth.
Here are some common signs you may need support:
00 You are eating more than needed/normal
00 Eating rapidly
00 When you eat you become full to the point of discomfort
00 Eating regardless of hunger cues
00 Often you end up eating alone or in secret to hide from the scrutiny of others
00 You end up feeling guilty or disgusted with yourself
00 Maybe you are even finding a trend that began with binges stemming from restrictive eating
00 Struggle with eating copious amounts of food in a sitting
00 You are feeling depressed and or ashamed of the amount of food consumed
If this sounds familiar, our eating disorder specialists are here to provide support. You do not need to go through this alone. Whether you are a teen, a young adult, or have been struggling with an eating disorder all your life, there is a way forward.
Kindful Body Clinicians & Dietitians
Break Free from the Binge Eating Cycle with Eating Disorder Treatment!
Our eating disorder therapists and dietitians have worked with many individuals like you in eating disorder treatment. Individuals who come to us have been struggling with bingeing, anxiety, and depression. Often, they feel out of control and find that the binge eating tendencies are ramping up and lasting longer. For others, their relationship with food has had highs and lows over a lifetime. This has led to bingeing, starvation, and an overall scramble of their thoughts when it comes to food. Our therapists and dietitians recognize that bingeing can affect anyone regardless of your body size and weight. What’s more, binge eating affects your self-esteem, which only adds to stress and shame.
Our Eating Disorder Specialists are Here to Support You!
Trust us, we get it, you are holding onto a lot. You are even carrying it alone, which only adds to the stress. Whether you are tired of not understanding what started the binge/compulsive cycle or need skills to cope, we can help. Our goal is not to gear you towards weight loss but toward sustainable goals of weight-neutral self-care and improved relationships with your body and food. We are anti-diet, HAES therapists, and dietitians, and we know that setting appropriate goals is a crucial step in your recovery.
Here is What You Can Expect in Eating Disorder Treatment in California:
Our eating disorder therapists and dietitians take an individualized approach to treating binge eating. Here’s what you can expect working with Kindful Body in California. First, we help clients become aware of the aspects of their behavior; triggers, times, and feelings that trigger a binge. Additionally, we help you understand the environment that creates the urge and or foods that trigger a binge. Next, we will begin focusing and normalizing appropriate food intake and create an individual meal plan to meet your dietary needs.
Our eating disorder therapists and dietitians will also support you in working through difficult emotions. Together we will help you cultivate new ways to cope with emotions. Changing the way you feel about yourself is often one of the most challenging, but essential parts of recovery, and we will help support you through this process of befriending yourself wholeheartedly. Additionally, we will work on healing underlying issues like trauma, attachment injuries, body image issues, and shame/perfectionism to help you fully heal to live a happier, more fulfilling life.
Are you ready to Break Free of the Chains Binge Eating Has You Under?
Our eating disorder therapist and dietitians in California know that taking that next step and advocating for yourself is challenging. However, at Kindful body, all therapists and dietitians work in higher levels of eating disorder care. In fact, as clinicians, we are anti-diet, HAES aligned and social justice-oriented. Meaning we commend you for advocating for yourself and seeking support.
After working with us in therapy and nutrition counseling, our clients tend to report feeling better about themselves. Often, they feel a sense of worthiness and compassion for themselves and build emotional resilience to face difficult situations and feelings. Once treatment subsides, they tend to have insight into the binge behavior, how it “served them,” how it was functional when it developed, and how it became habitual/compulsive.
Our goal for you is to build this awareness clients can reflect on and change patterns of behavior to reduce the harmful behavior patterns. If you are ready to report feeling less triggered and begin healing from the underlying reasons you are dealing with binge eating, we would be honored to help.
