Questions About Binge Eating Disorder Treatment?

Our expert dieticians and therapists will gladly answer your questions and guide you through our process—intentionally designed to keep you at home, inspire growth, and build strength.

In contrast to bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder does not involve behaviors such as purging or excessive exercise to counteract binge eating episodes. Instead, some individuals with binge eating disorder may exhibit a chronic pattern of dieting, often alternating between restrictive eating and binge eating episodes.
Binge eating disorder is multifaceted and encompasses psychological, biological, and learned behavioral factors. Individual triggers for binge eating can vary significantly, and the act of eating can stimulate the release of neurotransmitters associated with pleasure such as serotonin and dopamine, potentially reinforcing addictive behaviors. Additionally, binge eating may serve as a coping mechanism to escape or numb distressing emotions or to compensate for unmet needs.
At CEDAR, our approach involves utilizing various modalities such as CBT-E and FBT to begin eating disorder treatment. With therapy, we also offer nutrition specialists, dietitians, and personal coaches or mentors to help you overcome triggers, move beyond the cycle of binge eating, and return you to a more balanced and healthy life.
