Brain over Binge

Why I Was Bulimic, Why Conventional Therapy Didn't Work, and How I Recovered for Good
Summary:

The book provides a personal account of the author's struggle with bulimia and critiques traditional treatment methods that focus on emotional and psychological issues. It offers an alternative recovery approach based on dismissing binge urges as neurological junk and emphasizes the power of self-control and neuroplasticity in overcoming the disorder.

Key points:

1. Brain's Two Parts: Kathryn Hansen describes the brain as having an "animal" part driving binge urges and a "human" part that can resist them.
