I know that I talk quite a bit about the deeper meaning of different eating disorder symptoms and behaviors. But sometimes, especially right after a binge, what you need is tips to help at the moment. In this episode, I share 5 tips to keep in mind after a binge.
That obviously doesn’t mean that we forget about the function of the binge. The binge is there for a reason. It is there to help us manage really difficult emotional experiences.
Chances are if you are still bingeing, it’s actually doing so effectively. Except that now the binges have become their own problem. So now you got the underlying stuff and the binge itself. If you’re not yet in a place to try to understand the function of your binges, or if you’ve just binged and don’t feel like thinking about anything else, be sure to listen to the end to get all 5 tips.
