Eating Disorders

Having an Eating Disorder can feel very lonely and isolating. Many sufferers try to keep their behaviours a secret because they feel shame and embarrassment about what they do, or because they believe other people will judge them.

This causes you to have an emotion, which swells and grows inside of you. Depending on the way you have learnt to feel, express and deal with emotions will determine what you do next. If you bottle up the emotion inside, you may have learnt that eating food has the effect of cutting off the emotion you are feeling – result!

You may feel that your disordered eating behaviour gives you a sense of control when life gets a little crazy. You may also feel the contradiction of knowing that what you do is not healthy and not what you want for your life, but at the same time you feel your Eating Disorder gives you a feeling of power and strength.

Or perhaps you have a friend, partner or child who suffers from an Eating Disorder. You may not understand the best way to help and support them, and feel helpless and be in pain watching someone you love suffer from the ravages of their disordered eating.

The WeightMatters Eating Disorder Treatment Programme takes the holistic approach of dealing with the whole person, working with them collaboratively, at a pace that works for them, tailoring our approach to match their needs as we go.

We work with our clients to slowly adapt what they eat to create optimal levels of blood sugar and brain chemistry. This produces a more positive mood, which allows us to then work with changing behaviours, explore emotions and slowly uncover thoughts, beliefs and attitudes that keep someone stuck in an Eating Disorder. As we progress through this journey, you will feel your self-esteem and self-worth grow, which in turn allows us to work on areas such as lifestyle and body image. We will help you develop new ways of thinking and give you a toolkit of skills to help you deal with the ups and downs of life so that you no longer need to use food to make yourself feel better.

Recovery from an Eating Disorder means your commitment to stay the course of a journey. We will be your guide on this journey, but you must feel that you can trust the person that will help, educate and support you. That is why we offer you a FREE 30 MINUTE SESSION with one of our Eating Therapists, so you can ask any questions you have and decide if you connect with them.
