Episode 4: Clarifying The Spectrum Of Overeating Tendencies. Is It Binging?
There is quite a bit of confusion about what binge eating actually is due to media portrayals of overeating that normalize using food to soothe or overeating as fun. I have clients come to me who tell me they binge, but after describing their behaviors to me it turns out they actually just emotionally overeat, but it’s not technically binging. On the other hand, some clients come to me and minimize their eating tendencies but upon deeper exploration we discover they technically meet the criteria for binge eating, according to the DSM-V manual. So this episode is meant to clear up any confusion! I explain mindless eating, emotional overeating and subjective/objective binge eating so you can better understand your own eating patterns. Because when you have this clarity, then you can make informed decisions about the best support to seek and steps to take to improve these patterns.
