The work I do with eating disorders is a highly compassionate approach, exploring with the client what the stressors have been in their lives to bring about this condition which can be very painful, debilitating and affect the entire family. We are complex people and getting to know the various aspects, thoughts, feelings of the client that leads to disordered eating can often bring about resolution and restore wholenss and balance.

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.

I work with eating disorders as a symptom of a deeper issue. By using a combination of behavioral changes and analytic understanding of the meanings of your symptoms, you will gain the control you need to become healthy. If you need a higher level of care, such as intensive outpatient or hospitalization, I will refer you. I can see you several times a week, if you would benefit from that. If you have been in intensive programs for anorexia, bulemia, or compulsive overeating, and are ready to explore your own personal meanings and issues with food, I am available to take that journey with you.

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.

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.

The book I wrote is called THE THIN BOOK and it is essentially the most a compilation of my most effective and successful hypnotherapy transcripts for weight management and weight loss. It has been translated into six languages and contains a CD in which I do several of the trances from the book. I also use guided energy and psychotherapy techniques such as ego-building with my eating disorder clients.
