Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether a brief online psychological program called COR can be delivered in a feasible and acceptable way for adults who experience recurrent binge eating. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is the COR program acceptable to participants, in terms of satisfaction, adherence, and dropout rates? * Is the COR program feasible to deliver online, including recruitment, retention, and completion of sessions and questionnaires? * Do participants show preliminary changes over time in binge eating-related distress and emotional well-being? Participants in this study are adults who experience recurrent episodes of binge eating. They will take part in an individual online intervention that includes eight weekly sessions, a brief pre-session, and a follow-up session one month after the end of treatment. During the study, participants will: * Attend weekly online sessions focused on understanding binge eating, emotions, and the relationship with food and the body * Practice simple exercises to help manage emotional distress and food-related urges * Complete short questionnaires before, during, and after the intervention to describe their experiences The information from this study will help researchers understand whether this type of intervention can be used in future, larger studies and in real-world clinical settings.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALCOR Protocol (Body Compassion - Emotional Regulation - Conscious Reconnection with Food)

The COR protocol (Body Compassion-Emotional Regulation-Conscious Reconnection with Food) is a brief, manualized psychological intervention designed to address recurrent binge eating in adults. The intervention is delivered individually in an online format and consists of eight weekly sessions, preceded by an initial pre-session and followed by a one-month follow-up session. COR integrates elements from cognitive-behavioral therapy for eating disorders, dialectical behavior therapy skills, and principles of intuitive eating, within a non-weight-centered and compassion-focused framework. The intervention targets key psychological processes involved in binge eating, including emotional regulation, responses to food-related urges and cravings, and the development of a more compassionate relationship with the body and eating. Sessions include psychoeducation, functional analysis of binge episodes, experiential exercises, brief regulation practices, and reflective between-session activities.
