Brain over Binge provides both a gripping personal account and an informative scientific perspective on bulimia and binge eating disorder. The author, Kathryn Hansen, candidly shares her experience as a bulimic and her alternative approach to recovery. Brain over Binge is different than other eating disorder books which typically present binge eating and purging as symptoms of complex emotional and psychological problems. Kathryn disputes this mainstream idea and explains why traditional eating disorder therapy failed her and fails many. She explains how she came to understand her bulimia in a new way – as a function of her brain, and how she used the power of her brain to recover – quickly and permanently. Kathryn also sheds new light on eating disorder topics such as low self-esteem, poor body image, and dieting. Brain over Binge is a brave book that will help many by delivering an informed and inspiring message of free will, self-reliance, and self-control.

Overall, I liked what was presented in this book, however I think there are a few things that could be dangerous or damaging for certain people. I'm a Registered Dietitian (using a functional holistic approach) and I'm also in grad school getting my Masters in Counseling. So you could say I AM one of those practitioners that this author rags on. New science on the brain has led to a lot of new ways of thinking in the field of addiction and recovery, however the brain science she describes is what influenced the new labeling of substance abuse as a DISEASE versus a CHOICE. This is opposite to what she's arguing in this book. Because addicting substances and behaviors get programmed into the pleasure/reward centers of the brain (survival loops), we are driven to these things in a way that feels as if it's outside our control. This is the basic premise behind the disease model of addiction. I think her approach is concerning, not because it can't work, but because it aggressively discounts other means of treatment. Some individuals do not have the cognitive means to simply separate their "human" brain from their "animal" brain. Perhaps it's that easy for some, but if you're not one of them, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.I will agree that some individuals suffering with binge eating do not have any significant trauma to work through, but what she fails to mention is that A LOT of people with eating disorders DO. I went back to school for counseling due to how many of my clients were disclosing sexual trauma, food insecurity challenges, physical abuse, domestic violence, and the like when they were coming to me (a dietitian) for help with their food and eating challenges. I think the author's approach can certainly be helpful, but would work better as a supplement to nutrition counseling and therapy, as opposed to blatantly disregarding all other approaches to treatment. For the individuals out there who don't have any significant trauma and their binge eating is simply tied to their years of restriction and/or chronic dieting, then perhaps this approach could work on its own. I just feel like this books disregard for the individuals who are working through trauma is a bit concerning. The author almost makes it seem foolish that you would have to work on yourself for years in order to heal your food challenges, however the reality is that for some individuals with severe trauma, PTSD, or other mental health challenges, this is in fact the case. AND IT'S OK.Please read this with a grain of salt, and like anything else, take what works for you and toss what doesn't. THERE IS NO ONE PATH TO HEALING AND RECOVERY. Everyone heals their relationship to food differently, and there is no wrong way. The only difference between the people who heal and the people who don't, is that those who heal stay persistently dedicated to their own process of growth and recovery. Never give up on yourself and your journey. And recognize that there's often a message or life lesson in our challenges and suffering. We're born out of our suffering, and its often here to teach us something. You're not fundamentally flawed, or broken. Just dealing with life in the best way you know how. Sending lots of love and caring thoughts to those suffering under the burden of eating challenges. There is a path to recovery for you, just keep on keeping on.
