This supportive guide offers you a beacon of hope and a clear path through the darkness of addiction.

This book is a much-requested follow-up to Brain over Binge (2011, 2022), in which the author shared how she used a basic understanding of neuroscientific principles to overcome bulimia. In this sequel and companion volume, with the help of fellow specialists and authors Amy Johnson, PhD, Katherine Thomson, PhD, and others, Kathryn Hansen lays out those same principles—and many more—in a self-help format that encourages and enables binge eaters to recover efficiently and effectively.
