Finding Balance Beyond Overeating and Shame
Binge eating disorder is one of the most common yet least talked about eating disorders. For many adults in Dubai, it shows up as cycles of overeating followed by guilt, stress, or secrecy. At American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, we provide supportive, non-judgmental therapy to help you understand your triggers, manage cravings, and restore a healthier relationship with food and yourself.
Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for:- Adults Struggling with Overeating Episodes – Frequently eating large amounts of food in a short time.
- Individuals Experiencing Shame or Secrecy – Hiding eating behaviors from family, friends, or colleagues.
- Professionals Facing Stress-Driven Eating – Using food to cope with pressure, deadlines, or burnout.
- Expats in Dubai – Adjusting to cultural or lifestyle changes that affect eating habits.
- Adults with Weight and Health Concerns – Experiencing physical effects such as fatigue, digestive issues, or weight fluctuations.
If eating feels out of control or tied to shame and stress, this therapy offers a safe path toward recovery.
Common Challenges We Address
Many clients with binge eating disorder report:- Episodes of eating beyond fullness, often rapidly or secretly.
- Feelings of guilt, embarrassment, or loss of control.
- Stress, anxiety, or loneliness as emotional eating triggers.
- Fluctuating weight or related health concerns.
- Difficulty breaking the cycle of restriction followed by overeating.
By addressing these challenges, therapy helps reduce harmful patterns and promote balance in daily life.

Did You Know?
Did you know that binge eating disorder is actually more common than anorexia and bulimia combined? Research shows it affects about 2–3% of adults worldwide, yet many people mistake it for “lack of willpower” instead of a serious mental health condition. Studies confirm that with professional therapy, most individuals experience significant improvements in both eating behaviors and emotional wellbeing within the first year of treatment.
Recognizing binge eating as a real, treatable disorder is the first step toward recovery.
