Joanne Waine: Overcoming Binge Eating Disorder, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Step-by-step - the proven path to recovery from binge eating disorder

Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder but is often misunderstood or dismissed. It can be extremely difficult to talk about due to the feelings of shame and distress it can cause. Many never seek treatment, and those that do can face long waiting lists, efforts that don't work, or a feeling hopeless about the possibility of change.

In this sympathetic and supportive self-help guide, you will find a clear explanation of BED and the serious health issues that can result from it as well as learning about the treatments available today. Most importantly, this book offers a step-by-step programme for those who want to tackle their difficulties. This guide will also give friends and family a much clearer understanding of the illness and its treatment.

CBT is the recommended treatment for BED across the world, with considerable evidence indicating its effectiveness. In this book, you will learn CBT techniques to support you to:
· Regain a sense of control over your food intake
· Establish a more stable pattern of eating
· Manage your mood and distressing feelings about body weight, shape and dieting
· Build your own 'toolkit' to overcome problematic eating

OVERCOMING self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.
