What Is Compulsive Exercise Disorder?

Compulsive exercise disorder – sometimes referred to as exercise addiction – is a condition that drives an individual to work out to the detriment of their health.
Whether the person is sick, injured, busy with their professional obligations, or asked to be there for their family members and friends, their primary focus is exercise which may be related to negative body image, low self-esteem, desire to get in shape at any cost, or an attempt to deal with negative thoughts by exhausting the body.

Talk Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When negative thinking is ingrained in your subconscious, you may suffer in silence and feel

helpless in the face of exercise addiction. CBT will give you the tools to recognize your irrational and distorted thoughts and change their content to foster emotional resilience and self-acceptance.
