In this episode we are talking to binge eating disorder expert Kathryn Hansen who is going to discuss how to resolve binge eating or compulsive overeating in your life, if you’re a parent of a special needs child and using overeating as a coping mechanism for stress. Kathryn Hansen recovered from bulimia in 2005; and since then, she has been dedicated to educating and empowering women and men who struggle with all forms of binge eating. She is the author of Brain over Binge (2011), and The Brain over Binge Recovery Guide (2016). Kathryn offers an alternative voice in the field of eating disorders—teaching brain-based reasons for why binge eating occurs, and departing from mainstream ideas that say eating disorders are the result of underlying emotional or psychological problems and require years of therapy to fix. Her goal is to make recovery attainable for anyone who wants to live free of binge eating. Don't forget to hit Like and Subscribe!
