Overview

This book is a much-requested follow-up to "Brain over Binge" (2011), in which the author shared how she used a basic understanding of neuroscientific principles to overcome bulimia. In this sequel and companion volume, with the help of fellow specialists and authors Amy Johnson, Ph.D., Katherine Thomson, Ph.D., and others, Kathryn Hansen lays out those same principles--and many more--in a self-help format that encourages and enables binge eaters to recover efficiently and effectively. Although recovery is not the same for everyone, this book posits that there are only two essential goals that must be met to end bulimia and binge eating disorder: (1) learning to dismiss urges to binge and (2) learning to eat adequately. As you work toward these goals with a streamlined focus, you will discover your own strength, develop your own insights, and put into practice ideas and behaviors that work uniquely and authentically for you. The Brain over Binge Recovery Guide is comprehensive in its length and scope, but utterly simple in its approach: You will read and use only what you need--continuing on in the book if you feel you need more information and guidance; putting it down and moving on with your life when you feel you're ready--so that you can start living binge-free as quickly and easily as possible.

About the Author

Kathryn Hansen recovered from bulimia in 2005; she is now dedicated to educating and empowering women and men who struggle with all forms of binge eating. She is the author of "Brain over Binge: Why I Was Bulimic, Why Conventional Therapy Didn't Work, and How I Recovered for Good" (2011), which is a personal memoir of her own eating disorder and recovery; and "The Brain over Binge Recovery Guide: A Simple and Personalized Plan for Overcoming Bulimia and Binge Eating Disorder" (2016), which is a self-help book based on the concepts that helped Kathryn and many others stop binge eating.

Kathryn provides an alternative voice in the field of eating disorders--teaching brain-based reasons for why binge eating occurs, and departing from mainstream ideas that say eating disorders are the result of underlying emotional/psychological problems and require years of therapy to fix. She does not believe bulimia and binge eating disorder are diseases, but instead very natural, but "primitive" brain responses to restrictive dieting and the repeated overconsumption of highly stimulating foods. She teaches readers how to take back control from the primitive part of their brains, and use their higher cognitive power to chart a path to recovery in the most efficient way possible. Her goal is to make recovery attainable for anyone who wants to live free of binge eating.
