In today’s video, we explore how Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) can transform the way you understand and respond to cravings in food addiction and binge eating recovery.
Originally developed for addictive behaviors, this evidence-based approach offers powerful tools for preventing relapse — not through force or suppression, but through awareness and intentional responding.
One of the biggest tensions in recovery is the question of acceptance vs. action.
If you use sensory strategies like breathwork, grounding, movement, or temperature shifts to regulate your nervous system, are you avoiding the craving — or practicing skillful recovery?
This video explores that question in depth.
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
• What Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention is and how it supports long-term recovery
• How mindfulness interrupts automatic, reactive binge patterns
• The difference between reacting to a craving and responding with awareness
• The role of sensory regulation in managing urges
• Why intention matters more than rigid “rules” about doing recovery the right way
• How acceptance and action can work together in a flexible, sustainable process If you’ve ever felt confused about how to handle cravings — or wondered whether you’re “failing” when you use coping tools — this conversation will help you approach urges with more clarity and self-trust. Recovery is not about perfection.
It’s about awareness, flexibility, and learning how to meet cravings with both presence and skill.
