Eating Disorder Therapy in Kitchener-Waterloo

Eating disorders is a catch-all phrase for three main issues that centre around food. Anorexia involves strict limits on eating that can become dangerous. Anorexia can cause serious health complications, and it can be life-threatening. Bulimia, by contrast, is marked by bingeing and purging. Bingeing means obsessing about food and compulsively eating without being able to stop. Purging means trying to make up for a binge in ways that harm the body. Binge eating disorder is characterized by bingeing without purging.

How We Treat Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are often linked to some kind of unprocessed negative experience like bullying, loss, parental neglect or abuse, or to some shame we carry around with us from somewhere else. These issues are usually made much worse by unrealistic media ideas about beauty. 

Counselling deals with these issues at the root, so the changes you work toward can go a lot deeper than skin deep. If you're interested in getting started, call us at 519-954-4900 or email admin@transformationcounselling.com to set up an appointment.
