Emotions are an ever-changing landscape that we constantly try to remodel if we feel we can’t contain it, or if we want to explore new territory. Binge eating is often not an eating problem but a strategy for dealing with difficult emotions.
If you find yourself binge eating and ask yourself if it’s really a problem, or you noticed that your habits have changed since something else has happened in your life and you just want to make sure they don’t get out of hand, I could help you to:
- understand why you are doing it
- explore the impact they have on your health and social life
- work on any underlying issues (loneliness, frustration, (social) anxiety, life changes, and much more
- develop a healthy eating pattern
- develop a healthy relationship with your body
