If you are a Health/Wellness/Nutrition or mental health professional, you already know that clients can struggle with emotional eating & binge eating as a way of coping.

The US National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) estimate that up to 30% of adults seeking support for weight loss meet the criteria for Binge Eating Disorder.  

However, if you work in any of the following areas, the incidence of binge eating disorder is likely to be far higher:

Type 2 Diabetes – up to 40%

Bariatric Surgery – up to 60%

Cardiac Health and Rehabilitation

Infertility – particularly endometriosis and PCOS

Working with Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder is not about food or weight, it is about feelings. Specialist support is required to help clients effectively resolve emotional or binge eating, and move on to a new, healthier and helpful relationship with food. It goes WAY beyond lifestyle and behavior change! 

It is never obvious that a client is struggling with Emotional Eating or Binge Eating Disorder. They can be any age, any weight and any gender – 40% of sufferers are male.

These clients almost never disclose their emotional/binge eating during their intake.

This is because Binge Eating Disorder is a secretive, shameful condition that clients work hard to hide. If you are not asking the right questions from the start, they will rarely disclose it voluntarily.  

This comprehensive Masterclass will give you an excellent introduction to competency guidelines around working with disordered eating clients,  guideposts to working with Emotional Eating and Binge Eating Disorder clients and several practical tools you take back to your practice.
