Binging to Cope: How Anxious Attachment Fuels Binge Eating

Presentation Title: Binging to Cope: How Anxious Attachment Fuels Binge Eating—And What Clinicians Can Do

Speaker: Patricia McMillan

Location: TBD

1.5 CE Credits

Breakfast and Coffee provided!

This workshop synthesizes cutting-edge findings from three recent studies to illuminatehow anxious attachment drives binge eating behaviors. This presentation demonstrates that binge eating is not merely a behavioral symptom, but a maladaptive emotional regulation strategy rooted in unmet attachment needs. Clinicians will learn how to assess for anxious attachment, recognize its behavioral signatures in binge episodes, and integrate trauma-informed, attachment-aware interventions that target the root—not just the symptom—of binge eating.
