There is a common misconception that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice.  The disorder usually begins with an obsession with food, body image and weight, but can quickly turn into a more serious illness that can lead to long term emotional, mental and physical health issues.  Three types of eating disorders are binge eating, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa.

At Emerge, we not only look at your current status with the eating disorder, but determine the cause of where it initially stemmed from and what steps you need to take to change not only the addictive habits and thoughts.  You’ll learn to redefine your relationship with yourself and how it connects to the foods you choose to nourish and put in your body. You’ll be able to see how you evolve and your self-esteem increases.

It’s not an easy process, but if you’re at a crossroad and feel that you need a better understanding of why and how this has become an uncontrollable behavior when you’re ultimately seeking control, this is a good place for you to start.  Gaining understanding and exploring is the first step.

One of the most important specifics to keep in mind is to make sure the therapist you’re working with is a good fit for you.  They should understand your needs and wants and be free of bias so don’t be afraid to ask questions.  Call today to receive a free 30-minute phone consultation and determine if therapy is the route for you.
