    Ep. 211: What if Binge Eating Really Does Feel Like Coping?

    What if binge eating feels like a way to cope with emotional pain? In this episode, Kathryn explores why you don’t have to deny the temporary relief or distraction bingeing may provide in order to recover. She explains how emotional pain can trigger urges without making those urges meaningful, and why dismissing urges can actually give you more freedom to cope in healthier ways. Most importantly, you’ll learn that you do not have to handle every emotion perfectly before you can stop bingeing.

    Ep. 210: The Scale in Binge Eating Recovery: What to Do About Weighing

    This episode explores how to approach the scale during binge eating recovery. There isn’t one right answer about whether or how often to weigh yourself, and Kathryn guides you in deciding what works best for you. You’ll learn why impulsive or compulsive weighing can increase preoccupation and make recovery more difficult, as well as how to handle the thoughts and urges that may come up when you do choose to weigh yourself. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to keep the scale from interfering with the two main recovery goals: eating adequately and dismissing urges to binge.   Join the Brain over Binge Group Get $60 off of your first month with the coupon code: FREEDOM99 BrainoverBinge.com/Weight/ Brain over Binge resources: Get the Free Starter Kit (includes the Inspiration Booklet) Get personalized support from Kathryn with one-on-one coaching Subscribe to the Brain over Binge Course for only $18.99 per month Get the Second Edition of Brain over Binge on Amazon and Audible, BarnesandNoble.com, Apple iBooks, or Kobo.

    Ep. 208: Discovering Life After Bulimia: A Reflection on Recovery

    In this episode, I share a beautiful reflection written by a Brain over Binge Group member who is now living free after decades of bulimia. She captures in a profound way what it’s been like to step out of the binge-purge cycle and discover the presence, peace, and ordinary joys that recovery makes possible. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late for you to recover, I hope these words will give you hope, help you believe that there is a way out, and inspire you to discover the life that is waiting for you beyond bingeing.

    Episode 207: Recovery Stories Part X (The Intersection of Faith and Eating Disorder Recovery)

    Kathryn talks with Beth about her more than two-decade struggle with bulimia and how she ultimately found freedom. Beth shares how the Brain over Binge approach changed the way she understood her urges, and how her Christian faith gave her additional meaning and conviction, which strengthened her ability to put what she was learning into practice. This is Beth’s personal experience, and although faith and spirituality may play very different roles—or no role at all—in each person’s recovery, there are broader lessons in her story about separating from harmful thoughts and connecting with what matters most to you.

    Kathryn is joined by Coach Julie to talk about how connecting with who you are and who you want to be can support recovery from binge eating and other harmful habits.
