In Bondage to Food: A Biblical Model for Rewiring the Brain for Compulsive Eating Recovery

Course overview

Compulsive and addictive eating can significantly impact an individual's physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual well-being. Many clients describe these behaviors as difficult to control, often characterized by persistent cravings, food preoccupation, and repetitive eating patterns. This workshop is designed for psychologists, licensed mental health professionals, medical providers, and ministry leaders seeking to enhance their understanding and treatment of addictive eating behaviors. Participants will examine the biological, psychological, cognitive, and spiritual factors that contribute to compulsive eating and explore evidence-based strategies for promoting behavioral change. The session will highlight how neural pathways can be retrained to support healthier eating patterns and greater self-regulation. Additionally, practical approaches for integrating faith-based principles into care for willing Christian clients will be discussed to enhance therapeutic outcomes. Attendees will leave with actionable tools for addressing compulsive eating, improving client coping, and fostering holistic well-being.
