What is Reddit's opinion of Brain over Binge: Why I Was Bulimic, Why Conventional Therapy Didn't Work, and How I Recovered for Good (Second Edition)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

That is so wonderful! I've been wanting to revise Brain over Binge for years, so it's great to hear that you are finding it helpful. I understand not wanting to get your hopes up, but there is no reason it needs to be any more complicated than observing the urge and letting it pass (while eating enough of course). You are doing it! Celebrate the benefits of being binge free, and you don't ever have to turn back to the habit.

(For anyone who may not know about it yet, here is the new edition of Brain over Binge. Since it's so new, the old edition is still coming up first in search results, so I wanted to link it here)

Yes, this definitely all started with me sharing my own personal story and experience with unsuccessful therapy and recovery, and I still try to focus there a lot. People can use what resonates with them from my story and leave the rest. Everyone is so different, and over the years, I've seen more and more that recovery is unique to each person, and in the new edition of Brain over Binge, I acknowledge that to a greater extent. I hope my story can provide inspiration and a launching point for others to discover what works uniquely for them.

As far as studies, I don't have extensive/controlled research as there may be in clinical settings. But over the years I've done a lot of surveys for people involved in my groups and courses, and the response rates typically line up that about 75 percent of the respondents either stop or reduce their binge eating, and about 25 percent stay about the same. People recover on different timelines and there are a lot of factors involved, and people who don't stop acting on urges right away may stop later with time and practice. My goal is to provide an alternative way of looking at and solving binge eating, not to say that it's the only effective way.
