Eating disorder therapy is a specialized approach aimed at assisting those who are grappling with a range of eating disorders. These disorders are significant mental health conditions characterized by irregular or unhealthy eating patterns and an intense focus on body weight and shape. Common conditions addressed in Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
The signs of an eating disorder can include:
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.
The recovery rate for those seeking assistance with eating disorders depends entirely on the individual’s involvement in sessions, the severity of their symptoms, and their willingness to change their eating habits and relationship with food.
Eating disorder therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of Eating disorders will vary from one person to the next, dependent on their specific needs. Your therapist can help to determine what might be most beneficial for you.
Around 30 million cases of anorexia and bulimia are reported in US alone. This data is highly alarming because eating disorders have serious consequences to the person’s health. However, these disorders can be treated. Virginia Beach counseling on anorexia and bulimia will be very helpful in the treatment plan.
Despite the available treatment plans for people with anorexia and bulimia, the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders reports that only a small 10 percent of the total affected population are able to get the treatment needed. This leaves those who are untreated still at risk to the perils of suffering from eating disorders. So, if you’re struggling with an eating disorder, please don’t hesitate to reach out for help. Contact Thriveworks Virginia Beach today to schedule.
Both anorexia and bulimia seem like simple cases of people who are too afraid to gain body fats, but the truth is that these disorders can be caused by other factors as well:
1. Genetics plays an important role in the person’s likelihood to acquire eating disorders. When a family member is suffering from an eating disorder, the more likely the person can acquire the same. Genes can also affect the person’s behavior towards food and eating in general.
2. Other mental health issues such as depressions can also cause the person to suffer from anorexia or bulimia.
3. The person’s past experiences can affect his/her total self-confidence and perception. Any physical, emotional, or mental abuse can affect his/her over-all well-being.
4. One’s exposure to extreme diet and other weight-loss products can also affect his/her perception towards his self-image.
5. Peer pressure can also affect his/her body image.
The body needs a healthy balance of all the essential nutrients so it can function well. Once the body is unable to receive what it needs, it will suffer from serious health threats such as stroke or hypertension. The effects of eating disorders should not be taken for granted—they can put the person’s life at risk and urgent medical attention is needed.
One’s mental health is also affected by suffering from an eating disorder. People with anorexia and bulimia are more likely to suffer from depression as well. This can be caused by self-induced feeling of shame and guilt.
It is not too late to seek for help and guidance. Virginia Beach counseling for anorexia and bulimia offers a group of qualified, professional, and seasoned experts and counselors who can help you carry through on your journey towards a healthier, happier life outside any eating disorder.
We offer evening and weekend sessions, provide same-week appointments to new clients, and accept most major insurances.
