Brain over binge provides both a gripping personal account and an informative scientific perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. the author, kathryn hansen, candidly shares her experience as a bulimic and her alternative approach to recovery. brain over binge is different than other eating disorder books which typically present binge eating and purging as symptoms of complex emotional and psychological problems. kathryn disputes this mainstream idea and explains why traditional eating disorder therapy failed her and fails many. she explains how she came to understand her bulimia in a new way – as a function of her brain, and how she used the power of her brain to recover – quickly and permanently. kathryn also sheds new light on eating disorder topics such as low self-esteem, poor body image, and dieting. brain over binge is a brave book that will help many by delivering an informed and inspiring message of free will, self-reliance, and self-control.

"this book is a much-requested follow-up to brain over binge (2011), in which the author shared how she used a basic understanding of neuroscientific principles to overcome bulimia. in this sequel and companion volume, with the help of fellow specialists and authors, amy johnson, ph.d., katherine thomson, ph.d., and others, kathryn hansen lays out those same principles–and many more–in a self-help format that encourages and enables binge eaters to recover efficiently and effectively. although recovery is not the same for everyone, this book posits that there are only two essential goals that must be met to end bulimia and binge eating disorder: (1) learning to dismiss urges to binge and (2) learning to eat adequately. as you work toward these goals with a streamlined focus, you will discover your own strength, develop your own insights, and put into practice ideas and behaviors that work uniquely and authentically for you. the brain over binge recovery guide is comprehensive in its length and scope, but utterly simple in its approach: you will read and use only what you need–continuing on in the book if you feel you need more information and guidance; putting it down and moving on with your life when you feel you're ready–so that you can start living binge-free as quickly and easily as possible." — back cover.
