What is an eating disorder?

An eating disorder is characterised by an attitude and behaviour towards food which negatively affects one's physical and mental health. The two most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. The characteristics of anorexia are an avoidance of food sometimes associated with a distorted self image, resulting in extreme thinness. Bulimia is characterised by binge eating followed by vomiting. The feelings of power that may be associated with bulimia can make it confusing for the person. Women with bulimia often have normal body weight but they have an extreme fear of gaining weight. Women and girls are more likely to develop an eating disorder than males. Eating disorders are categorised as medical illnesses and as such someone who suffers from this type of illness should seek medical treatment before seeking help from a practitioner in the complimentary health area.

What treatments are available for eating disorders?

The medical profession offer a range of treatments, which may involve medication, dietary advice and psychotherapy. The complimentary health profession offer therapies as an adjunct to medical treatment.

How can NLP, hypnotherapy and meditation help overcome eating disorders?

NLP posits that the mind affects the body, and that the thoughts that we have are not random but have a definable structure, hence by working with a person's thought processes we can change their behaviour. NLP has been demonstrated to be effective in dealing with the cognitive component of an eating disorder. NLP is not concerned with 'why' someone has an eating disorder, just in 'how' they do the process. Once the NLP practitioner understands how the person 'does the eating disorder' he/she selects specific cognitive techniques to help the client make rapid gentle change.

Hypnosis is effective in identifying the underlying causes. Hypnotherapy is also useful in helping the client make changes without having to bring memories into consciousness. Meditation helps to relax a stressful mind and brings self awareness which is an important component of healing.

Read what Melisa has to say about using NLP to recover from an eating disorder:

"I suffered with manic depression and an eating disorder for 10 years. I saw countless psychiatrists and psychologist but to no avail. I had 4 NLP sessions with Abby Eagle and now my eating disorder and manic depression have gone. I got a real big result. I enjoy food now. My relationship with myself has improved. I don't look at people so critically anymore. I feel I have gone to a higher realisation of myself." Melisa Huyghebaert Nerang, Gold Coast, Qld.

Read what Natalie says about healing from anorexia:

"My experience of NLP with Abby Eagle in dealing with my anorexia was very gentle. I did not have to experience emotional trauma to gain a different perspective on my life. In 4 sessions I was able to achieve significant changes in my life and relationships and NLP has played a part in assisting me to do this. I feel confident that my healing's are permanent." Natalie Griffith Worongary, Gold Coast, Qld.

Read what Jenni says about healing compulsive eating with NLP:

"I battled with alcohol abuse, depression, low self esteem and compulsive eating for 20 years. I spent $1500 on a Gastric Bandaging operation but became regretful and angry when I realised the underlying issues had not been addressed. When life became intolerable I finally visited Abby Eagle for a series of 5 NLP consultations. Immediately I noticed a spasmodic lessening and softening of the problem. After each NLP consultation there was a sense of knowing I was OK, feeling unstuck from the past, and looking forward with hope and excitement to the future. I began to open up emotionally to other people and to myself. I was able to allow whatever emotion I was experiencing to be there without the old urgent impulse to suppress and deny it. And then came an understanding, a trusting that the emotion would pass. But more importantly a realisation that all emotions are a natural expression of me.

The changes are so subtle - an unforced new way of being just easily and gently permeated my life. I feel the results are more than permanent - the 'results' are due to the cleansing of the old stuff. Abby's approach is unique because as well as being gentle and non invasive, it gets profound results." Jenni Walker Nerang, Gold Coast, Qld.

Comments by a Gold Coast Master NLP Practitioner
Eating disorders are usually driven by underlying issues, which are often out of conscious awareness. Whereas behaviour modification can work to some extent with a problem such as weight loss - an eating disorder, whether that be anorexia or bulimian, requires dealing directly with the root causes. Psychotherapy and counselling approaches are largely ineffective or too slow in this area, however a hypnotherapist is able to set up a communication signal with the unconscious mind and effect the necessary changes for healing.

By addressing the root causes, NLP combined with hypnotherapy, is often able to bring about profound change with those who wish to recover from an eating disorder. NLP builds self esteem rapidly and gently by having you feel good about who you are at the core of your being.
