2-Day Workshops to End Binge Eating
Overeating, Emotional Eating, & Binge Eating Treatment in Scottsdale, AZ
In 2014, our specialized eating disorder team at A New Beginning set out to create an innovative emotional & binge eating disorder program, developed specifically for individuals who have struggled with chronic overeating, decades of dieting, and never-ending cycles of weight loss and weight gain!
TheHealthyWeighOut is perhaps the first program in our nation to specifically address the psychological “hidden pieces” that created and continue to drive the compulsive drive to overeat. Moving beyond simple diet and exercise approaches, our program gives you the jump start you need to get to the emotional root cause of unwanted overeating behavior, so that you can attain sustainable and healthy change!
2 Days of Learning. A Lifetime of Change.
Using an educational and experiential format in a trio of dynamic 2-day workshops, we will teach you the WHY, WHAT, and HOW to finally end binge eating. This is different than anything you’ve done before and, as result, you can count on different results!
Upon completion of our Workshop series, you will know:
- How to eat for nutritional need, not emotional hunger
- How to cope with emotions that drive your overeating, without turning to food!
- How to manage & curb your food cravings
- How to develop a healthy “non-diet” approach to eating (chronic dieting is ineffective 95% of the time!)
- How to stop diet-overeat-diet-overeat problematic eating cycles
- How to nourish yourself with fulfilling relationships, instead of turning to food
- How to fall in love with healthy & fun movement
The following is a description of each of the three workshops. Designed as a trio, we encourage participants to complete all three workshops to ensure maximum opportunity for sustainable change (although you may participate in just Workshop 1, or just Workshops 1 and 2, without completing the third and final Workshop).
Workshop 1: WHY You Can’t Stop Overeating
Before you can solve a problem, you first have to understand it.
In this 2-day workshop, you will learn the not-so-obvious reason(s) WHY your overeating developed in the first place. Believe it or not, at one time in your life this behavior likely served a valuable and/or positive function for you, even though today it is unwanted and destructive to your well-being. Identifying, understanding, and respecting the historical function of your overeating is crucial to eventually ending this behavior once and for all!
In this workshop we will also explore why diets really don’t work in the long run, and how they’ve likely exacerbated your struggles with emotional and binge eating. We’ll also explore your relationship with exercise, and offer a fresh approach to cultivating a FUN relationship with movement.

Workshop 2: WHAT You Need to End Binge Eating
Knowledge is power!
In this 2-day workshop, you will learn the exact ingredients you need to break out of emotional and binge eating for good. And, no, we’re not just talking about superficial distractions like long walks and bubble baths. And we’re certainly not talking about another shiny diet that promises big results but only delivers big disappointment!
In these 2 days, we help you discover what your mind and body are really needing when those strong cravings kick in, and teach you how to nourish yourself in ways you’ve never imagined. You will begin to learn the fundamentals of intuitive eating, which is a no-diet approach to sustainable food and weight management; and break down common barriers to maintaining a movement routine.

Workshop 3: HOW to Maintain Freedom from Food
Lasting change does not require willpower.
Knowing what to do and actually doing it ~ for a lifetime ~ is where many people can get stuck in this process. In this 2-day workshop, we will explore HOW to craft a life for yourself that is emotionally fulfilling, true to you, and nourishing of your soul. For when your LIFE feels this way, you won’t rely on FOOD to feel emotionally full, satisfied, or nourished.
Learn the recipe for “happiness” that is far more powerful than anything in your pantry, and take a deeper dive into the life-changing principles of intuitive eating. Explore how to socialize and enjoy food without worrying about points or grams, and craft an intuitive movement routine that is both sustainable and enjoyable!

An Emotionally Safe Space to Learn
Workshops are conducted in small groups with no more than 8 participants, which is just large enough to help you experience, “I’m not the only one with this,” and just small enough that meaningful conversation and connection can occur. In fact, over the years, many of our workshop participants have gone on to develop meaningful friendships with each other.
All workshops are facilitated by our expert team of emotional and binge eating specialists at A New Beginning.
In each workshop, you will receive a comprehensive 100+ page workbook chock full of information and resources.
Additional Support
Want customized support in addition to the workshops? Build the program that is just right for you ~ alongside our workshops, you are also invited to join our global online community (Circle of HOPE), and/or add any of our therapeutic Emotional and/or Nutritional in-person therapeutic services. Whether online or in-person, you can work alongside our expert treatment team to address your personal emotional and nutritional goals.
But What Happens After the Workshops?
1. Emotional Eating & Interpersonal Process Therapy Group
Because so many of our workshop participants find the group support aspect of their treatment process to be SO powerful, we offer a weekly therapeutic support group to help you stay connected with like-minded and like-bodied individuals who “get it” and are also dedicated to continuing their transformational process!
Facilitated by A New Beginning’s Founder and Clinical Director, Dr. Julie T. Anné, this powerful group brings participants to a deeper level of connection within their self – and with others – as participants move to incorporate learned skills and behaviors into daily relational life. An abundance of support and continued growth is poignantly found in these working aftercare groups.
Workshop participants are welcome to join this group (at an additional cost) at any time upon completion of all three workshops. Currently, the group meets every Tuesday from 5:30-7:00pm.
2. Become a Member of Our Private, Web-Based “Circle of HOPE”
Circle of HOPE is our online community designed to educate the world about the hidden psychological pieces that create and maintain your psyche’s need for food as a source of comfort, stress management, and relief. Each week, our members learn directly from Dr. Julie & Dr. Ashley, as well as our registered dietitians, about our unique approach to full recovery, what we like to call “The Deeper Work.”
As a member of our Circle of HOPE, you will have access to a variety of educational opportunities exclusive to this membership community, including: (1) weekly VideoCasts with our Co-Founders, Dr. Julie & Dr. Ashley, to learn about the deeper psychological work that is necessary for full and lasting recovery; (2) weekly VideoCasts with our Registered Dietitians about a no-diet approach to food, which includes Intuitive Eating; (3) “Mission Monday” videos from Dr. Julie to support the next step in your recovery process; (4) “Recovery Hacks” videos from Dr. Ashley to simplify your recovery process; and (5) connections with other like-hearted individuals just like you who are also eager to understand and explore their own “hidden pieces” underneath emotional and binge eating. To become a monthly or annual member of Circle of HOPE, please click here. You do not have to complete any of the workshops to become a member of this very special space; it is open to any adult in the world and available 24/7 from your smartphone or computer.
3. Repeat Workshops
Old habits die hard, which is why we encourage workshop participants to come back for a “refresher” whenever they want. With the option to repeat one, two, or all three workshops, you can customize which material you would like to review. As a token of “thanks” to our dear alum, we proudly offer a 10% repeater’s discount to anyone who has already completed all three workshops and would like to come back for seconds.
4. Individual Therapeutic Services
And don’t forget, you can always participate in our Individual Therapeutic Emotional and Nutritional Services at any time ~ you do not have to complete any of the workshops before beginning your individualized and customized one-on-one support from our expert team of emotional and binge eating specialists.
An Alum Reunion
Feeling reluctant to try yet another program? Our Program Co-Founder, Dr. Ashley, will put you at ease & give you a sense of the meaningful work we do everyday!
