Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Binge Eating – Dr Stephanie Cassin
The digital recording will be released to all participants 48 hours after the live session.
Binge eating is a defining feature of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder; however, individuals with other conditions such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and borderline personality disorder, may also engage in eating binges to regulate unpleasant emotions in the short-term. Binge eating is associated with increased psychological distress and elevated risk of health conditions, such as obesity and type II diabetes. The high demand and restrictive inclusion criteria for specialized eating disorder programs means that many individuals experiencing binge eating seek support from general health clinics or private clinicians in the community. To support these individuals, it is important that health care providers be knowledgeable about effective treatments for binge eating. Read More
