Changing Your Life For The
Better
If you are one of the
millions of people that struggle with eating disorders, including compulsive
overeating, our counsellors at the Bermondsey Office can provide you with the
help, support and education that you need to make healthy, positive changes in
your life.
It is important for anyone
considering overeating counselling to understand that overeating is a coping
mechanism that has been developed over time. Sometimes you may see compulsive
or chronic overeating described as a food addiction and in many ways this is a
very accurate depiction of the condition. Like all addictions overeating
impacts your life in very negative and devastating ways.
Treatment for Overeating
In the process of going
through overeating counselling in the Bermondsey Office, you will learn about
yourself and why food has become your way to cope with stress, anxiety,
disappointment, and even feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and depression. This is
done through a range of different therapeutic techniques and methods that are
developed to suit your unique treatment plan.
Treatment through
counselling will provide you with the opportunity to explore the reasons why
food has become an unhealthy part of your life. It will also help you to
develop healthier, more positive and appropriate ways to deal with challenges
and stress. Often counselling will reveal patterns of behaviour around food
that include a history of using food as a reward or mindless eating where
dealing with boredom has come to include eating just to fill in the time.
Why Other Treatments Fail
People that overeat
chronically often try diets and initially have success. However, those types of
restrictive diets are not sustainable long term. After losing the weight the
person feels better about themselves initially, but the underlying self-esteem
issues, depression, anxiety and stressors are still there. When these things
occur next in the life of the individual the person naturally reverts back to
their old overeating coping mechanism, resulting in rapid weight gain.
With this weight gain comes
a host of other negative emotions. Feelings of failure, guilt, shame,
self-loathing and often depression are commonly found in people with a history
of overeating disorders. Unless these root causes, the origins of the food
addiction, are addressed meaningful and long term change cannot occur.
Come in to the Bermondsey
Office or contact us by email or telephone if you have any questions about
overeating counselling. It is the only way to make sustainable changes in your
life that will help you stay physically and mentally health for life.
