What Is Compulsive Overeating?
Compulsive overeating is common in women and men. Compulsive overeating, also known as binge eating, often involves regularly consuming large amounts of food, frequently in response to emotions like stress, loneliness, or anxiety. It can lead to feelings of shame, guilt, and a lack of control around eating, and it may also contribute to physical health issues such as weight gain, fatigue, and metabolic concerns. But compulsive overeating isn’t just about food; it’s about addressing the emotional needs driving the behavior.
How Counseling Supports Compulsive Overeating Recovery
Counseling offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the root causes of compulsive overeating and develop healthier coping strategies. Our therapists at River Shores Counseling provide the tools and support to help you break free from cycles of emotional eating, rebuild self-esteem, and create a healthier, more mindful relationship with food.
Benefits of Compulsive Overeating Counseling
Identifying and Healing Emotional Triggers
Often, overeating is linked to underlying emotional issues, such as stress, anxiety, or low self-worth. We help you identify and work through these triggers through therapy, offering healthier alternatives to emotional eating.
Developing Mindful Eating Habits
We guide you in developing mindful eating practices, teaching you to tune into your body’s hunger and fullness signals. This helps create a more balanced and satisfying approach to food that feels freeing and empowering.
Building Self-Compassion and Positive Self-Image
Many people struggling with compulsive overeating also experience low self-esteem and self-criticism. Our counselors work with you to foster self-compassion and self-acceptance, helping you approach yourself and your eating habits with kindness and patience.
Creating Sustainable Coping Strategies
Lasting recovery requires practical tools. We help you build a personalized set of coping skills for managing stress, emotions, and cravings without turning to food, supporting you in making sustainable changes.

Did You Know?
Did you know that binge eating disorder, otherwise known as compulsive overeating, is common in both women and men? There is often a lot of shame, both internal, and from society, about binge eating behaviors, which makes it very difficult for people with this problem to reach out and seek help.Another problem associated with binge eating disorder is “night eating disorder”.
The symptoms include bingeing that feels uncontrollable late or in the middle of the night, and usually on high-calorie “comfort” foods. Sleep eating can be a source of great distress and feelings of shame, but please know that there is a logical reason for both binge eating disorder and night eating.

We can stop your emotional eating, sleep eating, and binge eating disorder once-and-for-all; and it doesn’t involve taking dangerous diet medications, following restrictive “fad diets”, admitting you have an “addiction” to food, or submitting to high-risk surgical procedures such as gastric bypass.
