Eating Disorder Therapy in Providence

 

While food might bring short-term relief, emotional eating can lead to a cycle of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. After eating, especially in large quantities, a person may feel regret, frustration, or even self-disgust. This emotional fallout can trigger further eating — and so the cycle continues.

But over time, this pattern can contribute to more serious concerns, such as:

Disordered eating: Repeated emotional eating may develop into binge eating behaviours, which can be hard to control.

Low mood and anxiety: Feeling out of control around food can erode self-confidence and increase emotional distress.
Body image issues: Weight changes and feeling unhappy with appearance can intensify emotional struggles and contribute to a negative self-image.
