A Holistic Approach To
Bulimia Treatment
Bulimia is more than just a
simple eating disorder that can be treated by diet, self-control and education.
Rather, the root cause of bulimia can include such diverse issues as genetics,
family of origin behaviour and upbringing, exposure to traumatic events in
childhood and continued pressure on people, particularly younger adults and
teens, to have the perfect body.
Bulimia treatment at our
Harley Street office is designed to address all the root issues and causes of
the binging behaviour. We understand how challenging this can be for both the
client as well as the family. The client may not realise what is triggering
that desire to eat and then purge, and he or she may feel completely out of
control at times. The family may feel helpless and at a loss as to how to help.
Through a holistic treatment
approach we can address these issues in psychotherapy as well as provide
education, information, coping strategies and nutritional planning to learn a
new and healthier way to deal with anxiety, anger, fear or stress.
Therapeutic Needs
There is no one ideal
bulimia treatment for all patients. Instead, our focus is to use the
strategies, techniques and exercises from a range of different therapeutic
styles to customise the treatment to suit the client. By having
psychotherapists that are experienced in different therapeutic models we can
uniquely create a treatment plan that is highly individualised and highly
effective.
Therapy will also help the
patient learn new ways to cope with the stressors that triggered the binge
eating behaviour. These new coping mechanisms will be developed over time and,
like the therapy, will be based on the entire person and his or her own
strengths and existing coping strategies.
Behavioural Changes
Through the holistic
approach and working together as a mental health team, our staff of therapists
and experts in nutrition, exercise, education, and family support can create a
plan that literally supports the individual in the changes that he or she is
making in life. This can include assistance for the family that may be
struggling with how to be supportive and encouraging throughout the treatment
plan.
Instead of using a bulimia
treatment that addresses only the symptoms, our goal at the Harley Street
office is to look at the person as a unique individual that has the power to
change. From this perspective, we include the client in all aspects of his or
her treatment plan and promoting growth, self-confidence, positive change, and
healthy lifestyle choices in the future.
