Bulimia
Eating can be a source of great pleasure or deep distress. If you've arrived here, chances are you're looking for tools to transform your relationship with food. The reasons for developing Bulimia differ from person to person. Bulimia involves repeated episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviours such as over exercising or restrictive eating and often involves a preoccupation with weight and appearance. It is a very distressing disorder that can become obsessive and rob you of time, energy and the opportunity to live to full potential.
Is recovery possible?
YES. Even if you have been living with the illness for many years, It is possible to recover from Bulimia. People with Bulimia can become entangled in a vicious cycle of eating and exercise behaviours that can negatively impact their mood, health, ability to function and to enjoy life. The path to recovery can be challenging, however, with the right team and a high level of personal commitment, recovery is an achievable goal. At TheSelfSpace Clinic, we use a Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Eating Disorders which offers a powerful proven pathway to recover.
