Publisher's Summary
After completely and independently conquering a debilitating eating disorder, Kathryn Hansen wrote Brain over Binge to share her struggle—and her escape from it—with those still trapped in the compulsive binge-purge cycle. Since the book’s initial release in 2011, it has endured as an essential road map for using the power of the brain to erase harmful habits and create lasting change. The second edition is fully revised and updated with new information, compelling insights, and uplifting success stories that will inspire listeners to break free from their own self-defeating behaviors.
Brain over Binge is both a memoir and a scientific account, providing a gripping personal narrative and a research-based perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. Kathryn traces the course of her own condition and then describes in detail her unconventional approach to recovery. In the process, she offers a much-needed alternative viewpoint on the landscape of eating disorder literature to help others in the throes of any form of out-of-control eating.
The mainstream view of bulimia holds that it’s a complex disorder that manifests as a means of coping with deep underlying emotional and psychological problems. But the author resolutely departs from this philosophy, cuts through the confusion she experienced in traditional therapy, and simplifies both the origins of binge eating and its cure. As Kathryn explains the brain-based principles that led to her recovery from relentless bingeing and purging, Brain over Binge sheds current and crucial light on our human potential to overcome destructive patterns and reclaim our lives.

This is a life changing book.
While coming to terms in my mid 40s that I stuggled with an addiction I didn't know existed and attempting to overcome it, I inadvertently started binging to make up for my "loss".
a couple of years in and my slender frame became pudgy and unhealthy, not to mention the guilt and shame I felt when I binged.
This book takes mindfulness and Rational Recovery and applies it to eating disorders in very simple and relatable terms.
My awareness factor is up 100%, "listen to the urge, and understand it's just my survival brain, move on"
It works people. Alcohol, food, sex, smoking, it works.

Could this finally be the answer?!
I am 52 and have suffered from disordered eating ever since my cult leader put me on my first diet at the age of 5. For decades I’ve been trying to recover from trauma, but mainly from bulimia. I’ve tried EVERYTHING and was resigned to have uncontrollable urges for life. Until reading this book. Now, I have hope!

Just OK
I wasn’t overly impressed with this book and not sure I’ll be able to get through it all. There is a lot of personal life story in there that I don’t feel is overly relevant and a lot of reference to another book that I think I’ll take a look at. I have a hard time listening to ‘ditn’t’ and ‘coultn’t’ which is why I’ve had to shut it off a number of times.
