Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder, affecting 3% of the population. What’s more, men are more likely to have binge eating disorder than any other eating disorder. With so many people struggling with this challenging issue, we are proud to offer self help for binge eating disorder (BED) as an important first step in healing your relationship with food and your body.
Here’s a little background…
In 2013, BED was added to the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM5). Here are the criteria for the diagnosis of BED; I reviewed criteria in this video too.
That same year, Drs. Michelle May and Kari Anderson developed and launched the Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Binge Eating Program and the Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating for Binge Eating Therapist and Treatment Team Training to provide a path to freedom.
Dr. Anderson also tested the program for her Doctoral thesis at Arizona State University.
Self-Help for BED
Within a few years, we recognized that too many people with BED were unable to access the treatment they desperately needed. And while we strongly believe that working with a qualified treatment team is ideal, we also knew that many people needed a way to get started.
We decided to combine the Eat What You Love, Love What You Eat for Binge Eating book with the companion Mindful Eating for Binge Eating Workbook and Awareness Journal to create the Mindful Eating for Binge Eating set.
Together, this book and workbook are a powerful path to cultivating your self-care voice to overcome the messages that leave you feeling guilty, defeated, and helpless.
Take your first step toward healing binge eating
The Mindful Eating for Binge Eating book and workbook set is a first step to bringing healing into your life. I would also like to invite you to click here to learn about additional opportunities to heal your relationship with food and your body.
If you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, and/or currently struggle with symptoms of past trauma, we strongly recommend working with a licensed therapist.
