Treat your bulimia nervosa
I am now managing to moderate the excesses in my life. My eating behaviour is returning to normal, I am beginning to exercise and all in all I feel so much better. – Mrs JB, Central London
Cognitive behaviour therapy and clinical hypnotherapy – The proven treatment for bulimia nervosa
Your recovery commences when you attend for your pre-treatment comprehensive assessment. At this session we will examine and discuss all the factors that may have led to your bulimia. We will examine family issues, childhood memories, schooling, relationship problems, self image and confidence issues. We of course understand how debilitating this condition is and therefore we ensure that you are treated in a sympathetic, sensitive and caring manner in total confidence.
We will then prepare a therapy programme that will bring about your recovery and enhance your self esteem in order that you can overcome your bulimia. Your treatment will be based upon cognitive behaviour hypnotherapy. These sessions will be at regular weekly intervals.
Why is cognitive behaviour therapy successful in treating bulimia nervosa?
CBH will encourage you to start thinking more positively about yourself, others and life in general. Consequently your thoughts will become healthier and more rational, your emotions will become positive, influencing your behaviours as well. The clinical hypnotherapy element of your treatment will address deeper underlying issues that are lodged within your sub-conscious mind. Treatments will include ego strengthening, relaxation, behavioural modification and self hypnosis.
