When Food Becomes More Than Food

Food addiction isn’t just about overeating — it’s about pain, regulation, avoidance, and shame. It can feel like you’re stuck in a cycle of craving, collapse, secrecy, and emotional chaos. You might feel out of control around food, or you might obsess about controlling every bite. Either way, the relationship has become exhausting — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

At Sea Recovery, we provide private, emotionally intelligent support for individuals navigating compulsive eating, bingeing, restriction, or food-focused behaviour. We don’t shame, label, or pathologise. Instead, we gently explore what food is doing for you — and what needs to be met with real emotional care.

If you're searching for food addiction treatment in Spain or a private recovery centre in Europe, we offer a safe and calm environment where your emotional needs come first — not numbers, weight, or judgement. We also support other behavioural addictions that overlap with emotional regulation and coping.

What Food Addiction Can Look Like

• Compulsive eating or bingeing, especially when alone or overwhelmed
• Using food for comfort, escape, or emotional regulation
• Cycles of intense control followed by guilt or loss of control
• Shame or secrecy around eating habits
• Constant thinking about food, weight, or appearance
• Eating to numb stress, grief, anxiety, or loneliness

Food addiction often coexists with trauma, emotional neglect, depression, or relational pain. For many, food became a source of safety, comfort, or power when nothing else was available. That survival makes sense. And recovery means gently shifting that pattern — without shame.

Our Philosophy: Safety Before Change

We don’t force food plans or restrict your choices. We build emotional safety first — because lasting change only happens when your nervous system feels secure enough to soften. Our programme is one-to-one, completely private, and designed to move at your pace.

You don’t have to earn care by being “sick enough” — if your relationship with food is hurting you, you deserve support.

Why Choose Sea Recovery for Food Addiction?

• 100% private treatment — no groups, no exposure, no performance
• Emotionally attuned therapists — with experience in trauma, regulation, and disordered eating
• Non-clinical, unbranded luxury setting — peaceful, safe, and completely confidential
• Customised care plans — built around your history, sensitivity, and goals
• Ideal for high-functioning adults and sensitive individuals

We’re different from traditional rehab clinics in Spain or eating disorder hospitals. Our approach is quiet, respectful, and grounded in emotional truth. We don’t push. We don’t punish. We listen, gently hold space, and support sustainable transformation.

Therapeutic Model for Food Addiction Recovery

Our therapy model integrates psychological depth, somatic safety, and practical emotional tools — helping you reconnect with your body and rebuild a calm, nurturing relationship with food and self.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Explores the “parts” of you that turn to food — the comforter, the controller, the perfectionist — and helps them feel safe enough to let go.

CBT & DBT

Uncovers deep belief systems and emotional patterns tied to food, worth, and control — often rooted in childhood dynamics or trauma.

TRE (Tension & Trauma Release)

Regulates the physical stress response — helping reduce compulsive urges and increase your capacity for nourishment, calm, and stillness.

Shame Healing & Body Image Repair

Supports clients in gently rebuilding a respectful relationship with their body — without force, exposure, or judgement.

Creative Therapy & Journaling

Helps process emotion in non-verbal ways — ideal for clients who struggle to express pain through words alone.

Who We Support

• Clients with past eating disorder history (e.g. binge eating, bulimia, orthorexia)
• Individuals using food to manage stress, trauma, or emotional intensity
• Clients seeking a luxury rehab in Spain that is private, quiet, and emotionally safe
• Those who’ve felt unsafe or exposed in group-based recovery models

What’s Included in Our Programme

• Emotional regulation tools and nervous system grounding
• Meal support (if requested) and emotional guidance around nourishment

You are always in control. We work collaboratively — not prescriptively. Your safety, comfort, and autonomy come first.

Life at Sea Recovery

We’re located in Sotogrande, near Marbella — a calm, luxurious coastal setting designed for nervous system repair and emotional reconnection. Unlike clinical eating disorder units or shared recovery spaces, our villa is peaceful, unbranded, and completely private.

There are no rigid schedules. No group exposure. No public mealtimes. Every day is shaped around your capacity, energy, and emotional bandwidth.

Clients typically experience:

• Morning breathwork, grounding, or reflection
• One-to-one psychotherapy and body-based healing
• Space for rest, journaling, silence, or gentle creativity
• Optional massage, holistic therapies, or IV infusions
• Emotionally safe support around food — with no pressure or force

Aftercare & Long-Term Recovery

We don’t believe in “quick fixes.” Our focus is long-term healing — helping you build a sustainable, self-nurturing relationship with food and emotion long after you leave.

• Remote therapy or regulation coaching post-stay
• Daily structure templates for nourishment and stability
• Support with self-worth, confidence, and body trust
• Integration tools for social eating, travel, work, and stress
• Optional family or relational support (if safe and desired)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do you focus on weight or food plans?

No. We focus on emotional healing, safety, and nervous system regulation. Food plans may be discussed gently if needed, but never imposed or enforced.

Can I come even if I don’t have a formal diagnosis?

Yes. Many clients feel exhausted around food but haven’t been diagnosed with an “eating disorder.” If it’s hurting you — that’s enough to be supported here.

Do I have to eat in a group?

No. All support is private and optional. You’ll never be forced to eat with others, nor shamed or exposed in group sessions.

Can I attend if I’m also struggling with trauma or anxiety?

Yes — many clients experience overlapping challenges. Our team specialises in supporting complex, co-occurring emotional needs with gentle, holistic care.

Is this programme gender-inclusive?

Absolutely. We support adults of all genders with deep respect, inclusivity, and sensitivity. Your care is fully tailored to your experience and identity.

Can I keep working during my stay?

We offer flexible boundaries for high-functioning individuals. If needed, we’ll co-create a plan that protects your healing while allowing essential responsibilities.

Do you support binge eating or nighttime eating patterns?

Yes. We work with binge-restrict cycles, evening emotional eating, and patterns that have become coping mechanisms for deeper pain or disconnection.

What if I’ve relapsed after other treatment?

Many clients come to Sea Recovery after outpatient care, clinics, or previous therapy didn’t create lasting change. Our model is softer, deeper, and fully personalised.
