How To Beat Binge Eating

by Dr. Mcayla Sarno

Overview

This book describes the fundamentals of binge eating and how to beat binge eating by understanding what drives the behavior. Our emotional eating behaviors feed and support our negative beliefs about ourselves. In learning what these negative beliefs are, where they come from and how to modify or change them we then become powerful over the emotional eating behavior. Negative beliefs are born from events in our life and how we've made sense of those events. Most of our beliefs were decided in our childhood and early adult life. Those beliefs made sense at the age in which they came to be. Unfortunately, those beliefs do not make sense to us as an adult but changing them is where most have difficulty in doing so. This book describes the process of how identify your beliefs and not only stop binge eating but take your power back in other areas of your life.

About the Author

Every person has a story and every story holds moments that are defining in which we learn things about the world, the people in our lives, and about ourselves. Those defining moments come from the events in our lives that mold our story and have an impact on our thoughts and behaviors as was the case for me.

I first began studying psychology looking for answers to my own childhood and dedicated my life toward understanding what it all meant. What I found would change the course of my life and inspire me to help others do the same.

Each responded to their pasts differently most with addictive behaviors but the commonality was the underlying trauma. As I dug deeper I could see that people were stuck in this place and conventional therapy wasn't a permanent solution.

I researched cutting edge treatments that addressed trauma and addictive behaviors and came across E.M.D.R. (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Once trained then certified in E.M.D.R. I began using it with each of my clients. E.M.D.R. was created by Francine Shapiro as a therapeutic intervention that focuses on negative core beliefs that keep people stuck in repetitive bahavior. With a combination of E.M.D.R. and my own personalized techniques my clients began to change dramatically. I began to see a shift in each of them as they became less inhibited by fear and anxiety and more empowered to do things they never thought they could and those addictive behaviors that many of them used to cope were no longer necessary for them to hold on to. My most traumatized clients were changing! So I began scheduling E.M.D.R. sessions closer together in an effort to keep clients engaged and the results were outstanding. This prompted my "5 Day Intensive E.M.D.R. Thought...
