Relationships
and Binge Eating Disorder
Most people with binge eating disorder wait a long time before they talk about relationships. A GP appointment is too short. Finding a therapist you trust takes time.
And even then, saying out loud that your boss is making you miserable, or that your marriage is hard, or that your friendships are not what you need them to be takes a while to get to.
This free course starts that conversation.
It looks at how the relationships in your life have shaped your eating and how they continue to affect recovery. Not just the big things. The repeated stress, the conversations that leave you depleted, the emotions that build up because there is nowhere safe to put them.
What This Free Course Covers
How early relationships shaped the way you handle emotions
How stress in current relationships affects binge eating
How to start noticing patterns between people and episodes
Why relationships are rarely talked about in early recovery and why that matters
How boundaries and peer support can reduce that stress over time
What You Will Receive
Course content you can work through in your own time
Reflection questions to help you notice patterns
A simple structure for talking through relationship stress in sessions

Reading this was the first time I felt like someone actually got it. Usually this stuff feels like a textbook lecture. Seeing the stress, eating just to numb out for a second, the immediate guilt, and then hiding away from everyone. That is exactly what it feels like. The questions are different too. Just asking what was happening with the people around me right before it started made so much sense. It is the first time I have not felt completely alone in this.
