Eating Disorders

EATING DISORDER SYMPTOMS
If you answer yes to 3 or more of these questions, you need to get help for an eating disorder

  • Do you think you're fat when a part of you knows that you're not?
  • Do you fear gaining weight?
  • Do you plan your whole day around food?
  • Do you restrict your eating or overeat?
  • Do you feel shameful after eating?
  • Do you eat secretly or hide food?
  • Do you diet repeatedly?
  • Do you binge eat?
  • Do you purge food either by vomiting, exercise, or using laxatives?
  • Do you feel depressed and hopeless most of the time?

 

My philosophy

Having treated eating disorders for more than 12 years, I have learned much from my clients about what causes this condition. I believe that the eating disorder developed at a time of despair, to help the person actually survive for a while( to cope with life). It will remain until better coping behaviors and a stronger self are developed.

I help clients develop a stronger sense of self, so that the eating disorder is no longer necessary. Also we desensitize painful material from the past, thus loosening its hold on the person, and freeing them to participate fully and confidently in their present life and relationships.
