Thank you for this video. I think the physical discomfort especially at night really feeds into the shame that I feel after a binge. I found things like gaviscon helpful for the heartburn but sometimes I wouldn’t take it, almost like I was trying to punish myself for being bad. “You WILL experience the discomfort of a binge so that you will learn for next time.” Of course that doesn’t make sense and it’s much better to be kind to yourself. Every new video, I’m learning more as I move along this journey. Another symptom I suffer from after a big binge is the bowel movements the next day. This is especially hard if you are not going to be at home near the comfort of your own loo! Again feeding into the shame. Thank you again for your kind words and your willingness to share and discuss all aspects of this condition.

It is so painful after a binge. I have to use a heating pad on my stomach in order to get any comfort especially to sleep.The guilt and failure is hard to deal with.

It’s a very challenging moment post-binge. You say the failure is hard to deal with so it sounds like you are treating it as a fact that you’re a failure in that moment. I wonder if there is a gentle reframe possible. Going from “I’m a failure/I failed again” to “I’m feeling lost and disappointed.” There probably isn’t much you can say to yourself that’s suddenly going to make you feel great in this situation, but you can soften the hard edges, which can reduce the guilt a little ❤️❤️

Your videos are so wonderful- insightful and helpful. Your content has really inspired re-approaching MY OWN recovery once again, this time with kindness and understanding, rather than reprimanding self-recrimination. Thank you :}

My skin always hurts around my stomach,love handles, and chest if Ive had a lot of salt and sugar, I think it’s water retention.

Thanks for this great video! A walk is the best thing to make me feel better but a warm bath really soothes and helps me feel a bit less heavy. Being elevated in bed and sipping a hot drink maybe water with lemon or apple cider vinegar.

Have you ever spoke on how binge eating effects our relationships with loved ones or should we tell others we are binge eaters. I have shame around what I have done to my body. I don’t want to keep it in the dark but I don’t want to be judged either. I have watched most of your videos but I may have missed this topic if you spoke on it.

I have created this video on my podcast. It's aimed at the loved ones, but also gives a lot of insight into if you share, what you share and how to get what you need from others when they know kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZjSeYZ9Yrykirssi=ZNFW-cPA_IVhvE9n

Thank you for this video. The physical effects from binge eating is definitely - a real thing -but rarely do people talk about it and when we're actually in it.. how to cope ways of coping can be very helpful. There's been times where I've had physical effects where I literally got paranoid and thought I was going to die!! On another note though you say you're not a doctor but if you're a therapist, aren't you still technically a doctor? Like for example dentists say that their doctors their doctors for the teeth and there's doctors for feet and there's psychiatrists...ect. I get what you mean if not being a physical doctor or physician and maybe but if there's something really extreme or Beyond binging that is physical within us you're not the one who specializes in that ..

Hi Vee A doctor is someone who has completed a doctorate - dentists and psychiatrists do and they get to put Dr before their name. Psychotherapists (at least here in the UK) are usually educated to a Masters level. Bingeing is an interesting one because there is a physical and biological element to it as well as psychological and emotional. We don’t understand enough about the physical/biological yet (as this also interacts with beliefs too) so it’s hard to know who the ‘expert’ would be based on qualifications. I have worked with hundreds of people who have struggled with binge eating so my insights simply come from my own experience and what I have observed.
