If you struggle with binge eating or emotional eating, you've probably felt like you're at war with yourself. One part desperately wants to eat while another part screams "no, don't do it!" 

This episode explains the psychology behind binge eating using parts work and Internal Family Systems (IFS) concepts. Learn why the part of you that binges is actually trying to protect you, not sabotage you - and why understanding this changes everything.

What You'll Discover:

• Why binge eating is a protective mechanism, not self-sabotage
• How to identify different parts and what triggers them
• The Anchored Self concept and why it matters for recovery
• Why trying to eliminate binge urges makes them stronger 

If you've tried willpower, diets, and restriction but still struggle with binge eating, this episode offers a completely different approach based on understanding your internal system rather than fighting it. 

Next week: Part 2 - How to Work With the Part of You That Wants to Binge, where we'll get into practical strategies, questions to ask your parts, and how to build trust with them.
