The cause of a relapse is the same as the cause of any binge eating episode: an urge to binge.

The cause of a relapse is the same as the cause of any binge eating episode: an urge to binge.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
[I]f my lower brain sends out an urge in the future, I will know exactly what to do: I will listen to it with detachment, and I won’t react emotionally to it or act on it.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
All I had to do was listen with detachment until [my thoughts] fizzled out, which took only a matter of minutes.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
To prevent relapse, all I have to do is never act on an urge to binge, ever.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
My thoughts were not dangerous at all. I could easily choose to listen curiously but not react to or act on them.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
My thoughts remained just that—thoughts—and they didn't affect what I chose to do.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
Knowing that my thoughts were automatic allowed me to prevent the cascade of reactions in my body, stopped the wave from happening.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
I knew I did not binge eat anymore, no matter what crazy reasons my brain generated; so I stayed on the couch, listening to the thoughts running through my brain. There was no need to argue with them, no need to stop them…
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
I knew that no matter what crazy reasons my animal brain generated, I didn't have to act on them, because my human brain gave me the power to say no.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
Listening with detachment made the urge to binge indefinitely less intense. I did not get anxious, fearful, or angry as in the past; instead, I just listened without reacting emotionally.
Kathryn Hansen, Brain Over Binge
I'm not saying it was completely effortless, but it was certainly not the painful struggle that resisting binges had been before…
Kathryn Hansen
That night, I decided not to feed the urge, and a remarkable thing happened: the urge just went away. I remained detached from those thoughts, and they simply subsided on their own. I didn't get caught up in my feelings, and they died down.
