Eating disorders are a mental health condition, where an individual uses food as a way of trying to keep control of situations, feelings and emotions.
Having a difficult relationship with food can include restricting or limiting the amount of food we eat, becoming fixated on our size and shape. (Anorexia Nervosa)
Binge eating, can be described as eating very large amounts of food in a short period of time, often coupled with purging or vomiting (Bulimia nervosa)
Undoubtedly, we are influenced by society, the media and celebrity, on how we should look. Often influenced by images of so-called beautiful people, seen in magazines, on billboards, TV and internet. It is common practice for these images to have been photo shopped or airbrushed, therefore creating an image of a body impossible to achieve or sustain.
Eating disorders have historically appeared more common in females, but males now make up about 25% of people with eating disorders.
Psychotherapy, Counselling, Hypnotherapy and the Cognitive Therapies, can give you an opportunity of understanding the psychological causes of eating disorders and food related issues, helping you control the eating disorder, rather that it controlling you.
