Binge Eating Disorder

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment in Tennessee

In our small residential program in Cordova, adult clients share their related experiences around food, body image, and social pressures, all while they also learn and practice a mindful eating approach while skill-building to manage binge eating urges.

Binge Eating Disorder Health Risks

This common eating disorder is characterized by frequent episodes where an individual consumes abnormally large amounts of food very quickly, often to the point of physical discomfort. The binge eating episodes are often accompanied by feelings of shame, loss of control, guilt, and depression.

Many adults with binge eating disorder follow a cyclical pattern of binge eating and dieting or restriction. During binge episodes, an adult will eat a large quantity of food, usually quickly, and may eat so much that they feel physically ill or uncomfortable. Many adults feel like they are not in control of their behavior during the episode. Afterward, they feel guilty, shameful, and upset. Adults who suffer from binge eating disorder do not typically purge after they binge.

Binge eating can affect adult women regardless of body size. At Haven of Hope, we function under a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework, which means we do not promote weight loss and instead focus on overall wellness and other health indicators of our clients.

Underlying co-occurring disorder
Repeated and frequent episodes of restriction
