Does thinking about food dominate your life.

Do you eat compulsively or have binges of eating.

Do you constantly worry about how much you eat.

When you feel anxious or worried do you go straight to the biscuits or other food.

This does not mean you have an eating disorder, but it may be something that you might like some help with and just want to “eat normally”. 

Perhaps you are constantly “on a diet”.  If so come and have a chat and see if there is something we can work with to let go of the old habits and feel more at ease with food and how you look.

Eating Disorders

 Bulimia Nervosa

 The thing about Bulimia is that you look completely normal although you binge eat.  Often eating seems relieves anxiety or the feeling or depression for a short while and then you feel guilty so vomiting or making yourself sick becomes a behavioural habit.  You begin to have a Pre-occupation with weight and may even take laxative.  This disorder can be changed, and you can begin to really feel normal. 

The treatment covers confidence, sometimes Regression in hypnosis to resolve the underlying issue, Self Hypnosis, Inner Child healing and cognitive behavioural approaches. Taking a look at past experiences and working with future image and confidence.

Anorexia

This normally affects young women with fear of being fat and is often  caused by emotions including anger, fear, and anxiety.  There is usually an obsession with quantity of food followed by vomiting/purging and often the use of layers of clothes to cover up. This may be what is happening to you and there is help to feel differently.

The Treatment is similar to Bulimia and most important is the building of trust and confidence and looking at the whole picture. Finding new resources, purpose and feeling better about yourself generally.
