Anorexia Nervosa/ Bulimia

What is anorexia Nervosa ?
Anorexia Nervosa is a potential life threatening condition because of the complications of being malnourished and underweight for any period of time. Quite typically a person who is anorexic will severely limit the amount of food they intake, because food is what they have learnt to associate with control.

Also, sometimes people who are anorexic actually see themselves in the mirror as fat when to you or me they would appear to be thin. This distorted image of self fuels the weight loss.

What is Bulimia?
Bulimia can damage your health as constant vomiting can damage the internal organs and wear away teeth. Someone who is suffering from bulimia will gorge on food and then purge the food. There is a real feeling of guilt involved with the gorging/binging and the cycle continues. 

How can hypnotherapy help me?
For both eating disorders hypnotherapy can uncover any emotional reasons why a person might feel out of control and allow a person to release that emotional baggage. We can work on the self image and really get the person to see themselves in a more truer light. To get the person to realise that they conquer their fears and build up their self esteem and concept of self worth.
