Find a Binge eating disorder (eating disorders) Therapist in Edmonton

Binge eating disorder (BED) involves recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food — often quickly and in secret — followed by feelings of guilt, shame, or loss of control. Unlike occasional overeating, BED is driven by emotional patterns and stress responses, not just hunger or habit. At ShiftGrit, we help you understand the why behind those episodes and teach you how to regulate the emotions and beliefs that drive them.

Our structured therapy model looks beyond food itself — we target the emotional and cognitive patterns that fuel disordered eating. Using Pattern Theory™, we identify limiting beliefs like “I’m not good enough” or “I have no control” that activate the brain’s threat system. Through Reconditioning, we help retrain those automatic responses, reducing the internal pressure that drives binge or restrictive cycles. The process is compassionate, goal-focused, and deeply educational.
