Understanding Stress and Trauma Driven Emotion Dysregulation to Improve Prevention and Treatment of Binge Behavior
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Compulsive behaviors—including binge eating and excessive alcohol consumption are complex in nature and are normally associated with traumatic experiences, stress exposure and constant emotional dysregulation. A growing body of research demonstrates that stress and trauma significantly increase vulnerability to these behaviors, primarily due to their impact on emotional regulation systems. This literature review incorporates theoretical models, neurobiological mechanisms, epidemiology, psychological mediators (particularly emotional dysregulation) along with evidence-based approaches in order to prevention and treatment. Researcher describes a rigorous literature search and selection strategy and summarizes the outcomes of clinical, intervention and neuroimaging studies. It concludes with recommendations for integrating trauma-informed and emotion-regulation-focused strategies into clinical practice and public health interventions. Index terms: compulsive behavior, neurobiological mechanism, clinical, meuroimaging, emotional dysregulation
