Although different eating disorders spring from different issues, food is a basic emotional as well as physical need from the day you were born. We can use it to satisfy, temporarily many other needs. Or we can pridefully deny ourselves. In addition, we live in a culture that can have very harsh, judgmental attitudes about bodies, attitudes that we internalize without noticing. You may have been told that your body image is distorted, that other people do not see you the way you do. Self-acceptance is the beginning. It is not your fault you are in this condition, although it is your responsibility to get past it. The second step is self-observance, then self-love. I can help.

Food is a wonderful thing, but when there are parts of us that are not doing well emotionally we can end up with a unhealthy relationship with food as a way of coping. The good news is that we can change that if we work through the underlying struggles. This is something we can't do alone--the way our brains work we need the help of another person. I would be honored to help you do the growing and healing you are needing in order that you can have a better relationship food, yourself and others.

The field of eating disorders is a group of unresolved issues that surfaces in the scope of eating. Therefore, so many lies the person is believing is tied to this disorder. They are very complex, but not at all hopeless. One must be ready to lay all on the table, otherwise you are only placing band aids on the pain. How long does a band aid last in the shower?

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.

We go out to eat in a restaurant and are served a meal that has as much fat and calories as we're supposed to eat in a whole day, sometimes more.

If you're ready to find a healthier, more manageable relationship with food, I'd love to help.
