Stop Bingeing, Start Living
Heal binge eating, one step at a time.
A self-paced online course from eating disorder therapist and author Shrein Bahrami, MFT.
- 6 modules
- Self paced, over 3 months
- Handouts are yours to keep
Does any of this sound familiar?
- I’m tired of my life being consumed by thinking about food.
- Diets work, and then they don’t. I just need to find the right one.
- I want to feel more at peace with food and my body.
- I want to break the cycle. I just can’t imagine how.
If so, you’re not alone, and you’re not failing. We have to eat several times a day, so when food becomes a struggle, it can fill hours, weeks, and years with worry. Bingeing or emotional eating aren’t willpower problems, and there’s a way out that doesn’t involve another diet.
This course walks you through that way out, step by step, at a pace that feels right for you. If starting therapy or joining a group feels like too big a step right now, this is a gentler place to begin.

As soon as you sign up. It’s self-paced, and we suggest about one module per week, with time to revisit sections as often as you like.
How long do I have access?
You have 3 months to complete and revisit the course, which gives you a gentle structure to keep going. The handouts and resources are yours to download and keep forever.
Can family members or clinicians take it?
Yes. Family members use it to understand what a loved one is going through and how to support them, and clinicians use it to deepen their knowledge of eating disorder treatment.
