Going to therapy and still binging? Listen to this!

If you’ve been in therapy for years, this episode is for you.

Most people think you need to process all your traumas and make peace with the past in order to uncover the root cause of binge eating. But this might be the worst advice that could actually hurt you. Sure, a well-targeted, brief intervention can be very effective in helping you make sense of your experience. Thanks to CBT I discovered how my thoughts create my feelings and in a way, this changed the trajectory of my life. But personally, I didn’t see the point in trying to analyse the content of thoughts I had in the last 20-30 years of my life.

The more I talked about my problems, the more problems appeared and I indulged in my own brokenness and strife. By trying to figure out what was wrong with me, I was perpetuating the idea that I’m broken. The truth is, there's nothing wrong with me or you.

I’m not saying that we should be turning a blind eye to our problems, but we need to recognise when we crossed the line, when talking about problems creates lower mood and more mess in our life.

Most therapies encourage you to focus on solving your problems, examining or trying to change thoughts, rather than an understanding of how thought works.

Once you have an insight into how thought works, you don’t need to spend hours talking to a therapist because you know that there’s no point in examining stories that are always subject to change.
