Binge Eating Disorder Therapy at Wave Counselling and Wellness
Binge Eating Disorder (BED), like all eating disorders, is a complex mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of consuming large quantities of food, often rapidly and to the point of discomfort.
It is important to recognize that BED is not simply overeating, but rather a serious medical condition that requires professional treatment and support.
Signs and Symptoms of Binge Eating Disorder (BED):
- Recurrent episodes of binge eating
- Eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry
- Feeling out of control during binge episodes
- Eating alone due to embarrassment about quantity of food consumed
- Feelings of guilt, shame, or disgust after binge eating episodes
Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder:
Therapy for BED typically involves a combination of approaches tailored to the individual’s needs. Our Binge Eating Disorder therapists at Wave Counselling and Wellness provide evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Benefits of Therapy for Binge Eating Disorder:
- Developing healthier coping mechanisms
- Identifying and challenging distorted thoughts and beliefs about food and body image
- Learning mindful eating techniques
- Addressing underlying emotional issues contributing to binge eating behaviors
Applications for Therapy:
In addition to addressing Binge Eating Disorder specifically, therapy can also be beneficial for related mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma.
