Out-of-control eating is overwhelming and distressing--and one of the toughest habits to break. Grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), this motivating book offers a powerful pathway
to change. Drs. Debra L. Safer, Sarah Adler, and Philip C. Masson have translated their proven treatment into an empathic self-help guide that focuses on the psychological triggers of
bingeing and other types of "stress eating." Readers learn how to stop using food to soothe emotional pain and gain concrete skills for coping in a new and healthier way. Filled with vivid
examples and stories, the book features pointers for building and practicing each DBT skill, mindfulness exercises, and downloadable practical tools that help readers tailor the program to
their own needs. Finally, a transformed relationship to food--and a happier future--are in sight.
