Hypnotherapy for Binge Eating

Adjunctive hypnotherapy for binge eating — interrupting the restrict-and-binge cycle.

How We See It

Binge episodes are typically the second half of a cycle whose first half is restriction, whether physical or mental. Deprivation predicts the binge as reliably as any emotion does.

We work on both halves: the rules that create the pressure, and the release that follows them.

What People Usually Describe

  • Episodes feel dissociated, as if watching yourself
  • They follow a period of being 'good'
  • Secrecy is part of the pattern
  • Shame afterward sets up the next cycle

How We Make the Change

Parts Therapy

A structured conversation in trance with the specific part of you that carries the symptom, so it can update what it is doing.

The part that binges is heard rather than fought, and its job is renegotiated.

Reframing

Changing the meaning attached to an event or urge so the same facts stop producing the same reaction.

The all-or-nothing rule that starts the cycle is dismantled.

Timeline Therapy

Revisiting the moment a pattern was installed and giving that younger self what was missing then.

Where the pattern began — often in a family's relationship with food — is resolved.

Common Questions

Do I need a treatment team?

We ask that you have one, and we will coordinate with it.

Is weight the goal?

No. The goal is the end of the cycle.
