[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eating disorder therapist here.  Binging is usually a symptom of restriction.  Become interested in your eating habits and look for patterns, cause/effect, etc.  One of the most important things you can do is to regulate your eating (3 meals, 3 snacks a day at regular intervals).  When I am treating a patient with binge eating disorder I used CBT-E, which is the gold standard for adult eating disorder treatment.

NP. How does one find an eating disorder therapist? Especially one who does CBT-E? I've tried two therapists that had eating disorders listed as a specialty but the one focused on intuitive eating, which didn't really work for me (and was mostly just filling out worksheets) and the other was a bit too something (meek? hip?). Like a PP I am also in my 50s with a history of binging (but not bulimia or purging). [/quote]

Hi- sorry for delay. I'm the ED therapist.

If you want eating disorder treatment, I'd find a therapist who works at a practice that focuses on that specific work.  Many therapists may list eating disorders on the list of things they treat, but you need very specific training and understanding of treatment protocols to successfully l delivery this kind of therapy.  I'm not from the DC area so I can't recommend a local practice, but I'd ask potential therapists if they have training in CBT-E.  I'd also recommend reading Overcoming Binge Eating by Fairborn.
