Eating Disorders
Eating disorders can take on many different disguises and have
a variety of symptoms. The 3 most commonly identified eating
disorders are Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating.
The symptoms of Anorexia tend to be that the sufferer will eat
very little, or not eat at all for a number of days, for fear of
gaining weight. This obviously has a dangerous impact on general
health as the body is not receiving all of the nutrients it
requires. In some cases Anorexia is fatal, so it is important to
get this condition treated as soon as possible. Sufferers of
this condition have a distorted perception of their body when
they look in the mirror. This may lead you to think that the
problem is just with their body image, but the problem is really
with their need to feel in control. Quite often, sufferers of
anorexia are constantly seeking perfection, but rarely find it.
Hypnotherapy in St Albans can help to alleviate the anxiety
that comes from the pressure an anorexic puts themselves under.
It can also be used to explore any unresolved negative emotions
from events in the past, which may have contributed to the
condition arising. NLP in St Albans and Hypnotherapy can be used
to increase self esteem, which is probably very low and this can
be done by focusing on solutions for how the anorexic is feeling
instead of creating more pressure by focusing on food and weight
gain, which, certainly at the early stages is not what the
anorexic wants to have to think about.
With Bulimia, the symptoms of the eating disorder are
different. The Bulimic will eat large amounts of food (possibly
because they have starved themselves), usually very quickly and
will then make themselves sick. Sometimes they may also use
laxatives which force the food they have eaten, out of their
body. The person may go through phases of this behaviour every
few weeks or months or even daily. They may also be binging in
private.
As with anorexia, bulimia is largely linked to self esteem and
other emotional problems however, despite being more common than
anorexia, it is more difficult to detect because the bulimic
will probably maintain a normal body weight (or just above
normal) but the condition is still just as dangerous and will
have a detrimental effect on overall health.
Hypnotherapy In St Albans and NLP can also be used in this
instance to overcome the emotional challenges the bulimic faces.
Hypnotic suggestions for more positive behaviours can be given
and early relationships and emotional events can be explored. It
is also worthwhile using hypnotic suggestions to recognize the
body's own queues for fullness.
Not all eating disorder cause severe weight loss, obesity is a
growing problem and within the next few years, it is expected
that a third of the UK population will be obese. Whilst obesity
is commonly linked with unhealthy diet, there is also the issue
of binge eating to consider. Binge eating is when the person
binges throughout the day and/or continues to eat when their
stomach is already full. There are many long term health issues
to consider here- such as heart problems, diabetes and high
blood pressure.
Binge eating is often triggered by negative emotions. Eating
when bored or to feel comfort can lead to a negative pattern
being created, so that later when the feelings of boredom, or
need for comfort occur, the person feels drawn to food.
Hypnotherapy and NLP techniques can help to refocus the mind on
what needs it is seeking to fulfill. Motivation to fulfil these
needs in more positive ways can be created using hypnotic
suggestions. When these suggestions are followed consistently,
new habits will begin to be created.
