Many individuals have eating disorders and turn a counselor to help. Chris has treated many eating disorder clients including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder. Those who suffer from an eating disorder can place rules on their food intake such as limiting intake or purging after the meal. Many times the eating disorder has other reasons and behaviors behind it such as anxiety or control issues. Chris uses cognitive behavior therapy to help clients identify triggers and look at their relationship with food. Often I work with medical doctors who prescribe medication and in combination with good psychotherapy can help lowering the symptoms.

Compulsive overeating is triggered by poor eating habits, emotional and psychological stresses (anxiety and depression) and making poor food choices. In order to lose weight permanently you must change your thinking about yourself and your relationship to food. Food can serve many functions: companion, distractor, means to avoid emotions and activity. In the 20 week "Mind Set Program" you will learn how: your emotions and thoughts set you into motion to overeat, to eat in a healthy manner promoting weight loss and a healthy attitudes towards food, and create your "personal healthy environment" where you incorporate exercise and nutritious foods into your daily life.

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.

There is a common misconception that eating disorders are a lifestyle choice. The disorder usually begins with an obsession with food, body image and weight, but can quickly turn into a more serious illness that can lead to long term emotional, mental and physical health issues. Three types of eating disorders are binge eating, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. At Emerge, we not only look at your current status with the eating disorder, but determine the cause of where it initially stemmed from and what steps you need to take to change not only the addictive habits and thoughts. You’ll learn to redefine your relationship with yourself and how it connects to the foods you choose to nourish and put in your body. You’ll be able to see how you evolve and your self-esteem increases.

Eating disorders often become more sever when left untreated. Ailments such as Emetophobia present in children and teens but also in adults and can be treated in my office with therapy. The specific therapy approach requires an understanding of the patients specific issue as well as the pros and cons of each approach. Therapy is highly recommended especially in teens who are avoiding social interactions as a result of their fears.

An eating disorder is not a lifestyle choice. An eating disorder is a serious and often fatal illnesses that causes serious disturbances to a person’s eating behaviors, physical health, and relationships. Obsessions with food, body weight, and shape may also signal an eating disorder. The sooner someone struggling with this illness, or displaying behaviors and attitudes consistent with these disorders, can get connected to help, the better. Common eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder. As with any illness or psychological disorder, these problems will not go away on their own; without clinical support they often only escalate dangerously.
