http://positivetranceformations.com.au/eating-disorders/ Hypnotherapy and NLP can be used as powerful tools to reverse the momentum of Anorexic Behaviour, and assist the sufferer to regain their sense of self and value so that they regain control of their thoughts, emotions and behaviour, and redevelop a healthy relationship with, and affinity for food and life. This process usually takes around #12-20 Hypnotherapy / NLP sessions.
7. The main trick to recovering from an eating
disorder is to begin to re teach the sufferer
how to feel good, reconnect them to who
they are as a person and the values and
things they hold dear.
8. When they again begin to realize that they
can have a future, of their own design.
9. This can help an Ed sufferer start to see
they are not useless and powerless, and
that on the contrary, all that has happened,
is that a part of them that was originally
conceived as a form of coping mechanism
has started to assume to much influence
and control in their decision making.
10. Once this has occurred it does tend to
create a vicious cycle, however the
dissociative processes inherent in
Hypnotherapy and NLP, help the sufferer
step out of themselves and gain greater
perspective.
11. From this far more resourceful vantage
point, the ED sufferer can begin to realise
that they are not facing things alone, and,
in fact that they have the support, resources
and tools to overcome their present
difficulties, which goes a long way to
facilitating the recovery process.
12. This approach has thus far proven to enjoy
a high rate of success at demonstrably
turning things around.
13. All eating disorder sufferers need direction
but it has to be done in a very even
handed and subtle way. Yelling and
screaming at them will not work.
14. Telling an anorexic “why don’t you just eat”
or the bulimic that binging and purging is
futile would be like asking you to stop
breathing air, it’s not going to happen.
15. This is because eating disorders become an
obsession. They are lodged and generated
within the subconscious mind and no
amount of logical talk will change that.
16. Only by rewiring the mind and breaking
the “brain loop” , can you defeat an eating
disorder.
