Binge eating clinical hypnotherapy helps you relieve cravings to overeat or ‘binge eat’. Binge eating can be treated as an eating disorder due to its over-excessive eating classification. With hypnosis Melbourne, we can help you achieve healthy eating habits and have a better relationship with food. On the other hand, people with Anorexia Nervosa may restrict their food intake as they are more concerned about their weight and body shape.

Binging can provide temporary soothing, comfort and relief, but sometimes it does not fulfil your hunger. Compared to normal hunger, it is not caused by stress and the hunger will normally disappear after eating a healthy balanced meal. In some cases, depending on the symptoms and diagnoses, binge eating could be considered more of a 'disordered eating'.

Binging can be caused by mental health conditions like stress, anxiety and depression. What’s more interesting is if you’re in a celebratory mood, happiness can also lead to binge eating eating disorders. However, if you are under persistent stressful conditions like COVID, workplace stress or relationship issues. It can cause imbalances in your hormonal system and increase your appetite to crave more “comfort” foods like ice cream or fast foods. If these episodes of your binge eating disorder are not regulated, these bad habits eventually become more engrained into you unconscious mind as ‘safe’, ‘comforting’ and 'normal'.

Regardless of what diet or mood you are in, this behavioural pattern can disrupt your personal weight loss goals, while affecting your overall wellbeing.

What are the signs?

If you’re unsure whether you are a bing eater, consider the following about your relationship with food:

• Is your food consumption going out of control?

• Do you stress eat?

• Do you exhibit extreme changes in weight gain or loss?

• Has the amount of food consumption increased over a short period of time?

• Are you finding that it takes an extremely long time to order something on food delivery apps?

• Do you eat as a form of avoidance or escapism?

• Do you feel a sense of guilt or shame when consuming food?

• Is it disrupting your personal weight loss goals?

Bingers eat excessive amounts of food when it is not necessary, but this pattern can be triggered in many ways. Some examples include significant past events, feelings of being dismissed, being unheard, or perhaps feelings of oppression through body shaming. Binge eating hypnosis can help release these beliefs and lead you to healthier patterns of self-discipline and self-control.
