I’ve found the best way to head off a binge is by using Behavior Chains. This method asks you to trace all the steps (or links of a chain) that lead to a binge. Sometimes it will be just a couple of steps, other times there will be many steps and they will happen over weeks of time.

Part II we’ll talk about how to avoid or get rid of binge-eating all together by developing a game plan and identifying Behavior Chains.

Binging, overeating – who knew the answer would lie in a three-fer: mind, body and spirit.  Not with  teeth grinding willpower as most folks think- but in a way that honors you and your humanity (not to mention your physical need for nourishment).  

The Relationship Between Grief and Trauma: “Trauma is a form of loss, and this deep loss results in grief, often unresolved."

The first 3 stages -Beginner, Advanced Beginner and Competent- focus on the learner acquiring knowledge and gradually gaining confidence in their ability to apply this knowledge to their own lives via guided practical experience, much like an internship or practicum.

I have found most of us yearn for our acts of nourishment to happen effortlessly, where it is just second nature and needing little attention.
