Requirements
An eating disorder is a mental health condition that causes disturbances to your diet and the way you view food.
There are several types of eating disorders. Some examples include:
anorexia nervosa
bulimia nervosa
binge eating disorder
People that have an eating disorder may eat too much food, too little food, or become preoccupied with their body shape or weight. Without treatment, an eating disorder may become serious and potentially life-threatening.
However, recovery from an eating disorder is possible with treatment. This often involves a team of health professionals that work together to help you on your way to recovery.
One part of your treatment plan will involve therapy and this could come in form of psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy just to mention a few.
We also will look at emotional eating.
Finding comfort in food is common, and it’s part of a practice called emotional eating. People who emotionally eat reach for food several times a week or more and they end up falling into the trap of eating disorders of various forms and appearances.
In this course, we will explore what eating disorders are, the therapy methods that exist and how to navigate the journey to healing. You can follow me on social [at]tolusefrancis
