Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Polkton, MI.

Our understanding of eating disorders is that they emerge when a patient becomes overwhelmed with some type of anxiety and feels the need to exert control over something in their lives. The key to our approach is gaining an understanding of what that anxiety is about for you. It may be something you are not even aware of. In fact, it is probably more likely something you are not aware of because that what makes it expressed in the form of other symptoms. The more you can understand what is driving this for you, the more you will feel in charge of your life again. And the more in charge you feel, the less you will need to exert control in other areas.

Treatment of eating disorders, can be challenging for both the therapist and the client. Effective treatment addresses the underlying issues that often date back to childhood and a person’s self-perception and self-image. Treatment approach can focus on helping a person to understand how their own self-image impacts their eating behavior. We also help the client address underlying emotions and conflicts that may be influencing them.

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.
