Eating Disorders

Eating disorders include binge eating; bulimia (with or without self-inflicted vomiting or the use of laxatives) and anorexia.

Eating disorders can be caused by different factors. Some eating disorders are caused by comfort eating that develops into a trance-like state of bingeing. Some are caused by underlying self-esteem issues where people associate happiness with being slim. Some are caused by a history of unhealthy eating patterns and relationship to food, meaning times of deprivation followed by times of a glut of the foods that were deprived. Some conditions are caused by a belief that rigid control of the body will lead to greater control in one's life. Whatever the reason, a therapist will help you to understand the reasons underlying your eating disorder and formulate an appropriate therapeutic treatment plan to address it.
