Eating Disorder Therapy in Conway, AR—Therapists and Counselors

Many individuals who are diagnosed with eating disorders are often severely underweight, but there are also other disorders where people are overweight and in a constant struggle to maintain a healthier weight. There are several types of eating disorders, and they affect both physical and mental health. If the eating disorder is left untreated, the consequences can be severe and sometimes lead to death. Fortunately, eating disorder counseling can help. Reach out to Thriveworks Conway to schedule an appointment.

Types of Eating Disorders

The following are the most common types of eating disorders.

  • Anorexia Nervosa. Because they don’t eat enough, people with anorexia nervosa have a weight that is far too low. They have an extreme fear of gaining weight. Their self-esteem is related to body image, and their obsession with weight causes them to behave in a way that hinders weight gain. A person with anorexia is often unable to understand how serious the situation is.
  • Binge Eating Disorder. Individuals who have binge eating disorder often eat very large amounts of food. However, they don’t have the obsession to prevent weight gain. They don’t follow their binges with self-induced vomiting and other harmful ways to lose weight. Many times, they feel out of control during the binge eating, followed by being ashamed and feeling guilty about their behavior. Individuals with the disorder will eat even when they aren’t hungry and to the degree that they’re uncomfortable after eating. They often eat by themselves, because they feel ashamed of their behavior.
  • Bulimia Nervosa. Like the person with binge eating disorder, people with bulimia nervosa eat large amounts of foods often. However, they follow these episodes with behaviors to stop weight gain, such as purging. They have a feeling of not being in control, as well as self-esteem that is overly related to their body image.

Signs of an Eating Disorder

There are a variety of signs that may help to identify an eating disorder, including:

  • Dieting obsessively even though the person is seriously underweight.
  • Obsessing about the calories and fat in foods, including being aware of their calorie intake for each meal.
  • Weight changes constantly.
  • Rituals with food like eating alone, cutting food into tiny morsels and hiding food.
  • A significant lack of energy that can signify the diet is too low in calories.
  • Thinking about food constantly and ruminating on food choices.
  • Disrupted sleep from not eating enough or failing to get nutrients that are essential for good sleep.
  • Not eating an entire food group. Each food group has the nutrients that are essential for a balanced diet, and deleting one of them can cause a person to feel hungry.
  • Feelings of anxiety, depression and irritability caused by the limited amount of calories.
  • Preparing and cooking full-course meals for other people, but not eating any of it.
  • Become isolated and refraining from social events, as well as from friends and family. People with eating disorders may schedule their activities around their diet. Sometimes they don’t attend social events because there will be food, and they don’t want to eat.
  • Periods of fasting and overeating.

There Is Help for the Vicious Cycles of Eating Disorders

If you or somebody close to you has an eating disorder, there is help. The hopelessness, depression and eating disorder behaviors can be unlearned with a willingness to change. Overcoming an eating disorder is twofold—a person has to work to give up the unhealthy eating behaviors and learn to appreciate himself. The person needs to identify who he is beyond the eating habits, negative body image and what the needle on the scale says about weight.

I appreciate Ms. Kirra's therapeutic approach. This was my first session and I am pleased with it. She went over all legal disclosures and ensured I fully understood prior to moving forward. She also ensured she answered all my questions during her Intake prior to moving into my reasons for seeking counseling. Ms. Kirra also was able to build an initial rapport with me to help me get comfortable with her and help me to slowly remove barriers in order for me to feel safe with sharing my emotions. Thanks!
