Lesson Overview

19.3 Understanding Binge and Purge Cycles: Understanding binge and purge cycles means learning how emotional overwhelm, shame, and hunger collide to create destructive patterns that feel impossible to stop. Bingeing is not a lack of willpower—it’s the body’s desperate response to restriction or intense feelings. Purging follows because guilt and fear convince you that undoing the food will erase distress. You learn that the cycle is driven by biology and emotion, not weakness. Recovery involves reducing shame, stabilizing nourishment, and finding healthier ways to cope with stress and discomfort. You remind yourself that your body does not deserve punishment and that you are capable of breaking the cycle gradually with compassion and support.
