What is an Eating Disorder?
Eating problems can affect you in many ways, such as low self-esteem, feeling distant from friends and family, depression, anxiety, becoming controlling and obsessive in many aspects of life including what you eat, feeling suicidal and believing there’s no hope.
What types of Body Image Disorders are there?
Anorexia
Anorexia is a psychological eating disorder, those suffering from this eating disorder typically have extremely low body weight relative to their height and body type. Those struggling with anorexia often fear putting weight on and have a misrepresented image of their bodies.
Bulimia
Bulimia is another psychological eating disorder that can affect any age, gender or background. This disorder causes sufferers to eat excessively and then force themselves to vomit, fast or perform high levels of exercise.
Binge Eating Disorder
Binge eating disorder is a disorder that causes sufferers to eat large volumes of food on a regular basis in a short amount of time. Sufferers have little control when binge eating and find it hard to stop eating even if they want to and often describe it as being an "out of body experience" and can struggle to remember what they have eaten afterward.
Treatment
When we are struggling, help in the form of counselling will always create the opportunity for new insights and personal growth. Some of these changes can be lasting but for some, a few sessions of counselling gives temporary relief for a few months until trigger points are experienced again and old habits come flooding back.
The Flourish programme is a yearlong therapeutic programme, consisting of talking therapy, coaching and teaching, developed specifically to help teens and young adults recover themselves from emerging issues around distorted body image, guilt, perfectionism, obsessing about food, their weight and their place in society.
Flourish is tailored to suit the individual, working with their needs and later, their interests and areas of growth.
