Christian Compulsive Overeating Treatment

Christian Compulsive Overeating Treatment For compulsive overeaters, life can quickly spiral beyond your control. Feelings of guilt and shame can cause you to feel like God has abandoned you. You might seek help only to find yourself in a vicious cycle of recovery and relapse. Though it might seem like God has abandoned you, this is not the case. On the contrary, involving Him in your recovery can yield life-changing results.

At Brookhaven Hospital’s RENEWAL: Christian Treatment and Recovery program, we understand that getting help for compulsive overeating can sometimes feel hopeless. Many programs can provide treatment for your eating disorder, but they may fail to acknowledge your deeper, spiritual needs.  Along with offering you advanced compulsive overeating treatment, RENEWAL incorporates your faith into your recovery. Our faith-based approach provides a dignified, compassionate atmosphere that helps patients find real solutions to their daily struggles.

Compulsive Overeating
Compulsive overeating is an eating disorder characterized by binge eating. Compulsive overeating episodes are usually triggered by unwanted feelings and are used as a coping mechanism. When you are suffering from compulsive overeating, it’s easy for life to feel out of control. With proper treatment and counseling, your relationship with God can be stronger than ever.

Compulsive Overeating Behavior
Individuals suffering with this eating disorder often describe eating binges as a way of numbing out intense feelings. While eating binges can temporarily alleviate unwanted feelings of stress, depression or anxiety, they eventually lead to feelings of shame for the compulsive overeater.

Compulsive Overeating Symptoms
If you or someone you love is suffering from compulsive overeating, the first step is to acknowledge the condition. Individuals exhibiting the following symptoms might be suffering from compulsive overeating:

  • Eating large amounts of food, even when not hungry
  • Eating quickly
  • Eating to the point of discomfort, fatigue or nausea
  • Eating alone because of shame or embarrassment
  • Feelings of depression, disgust or guilt after eating
  • Weight fluctuations

The program begins with a spiritual assessment which allows us to help you identify the issues which are barriers to your satisfying relationship with God and enable you to incorporate a spiritual dimension into the recovery process and your life after Brookhaven.
