What Are Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders involve persistent and harmful patterns related to food, eating behaviors, and body image. They often stem from emotional distress, societal pressures, and a range of psychological factors. Left untreated, these disorders can lead to serious health consequences and impact every area of life, including relationships, work, and physical well-being.

At Weston Family Psychology, we offer treatment plans tailored specifically to women, addressing the underlying emotional, psychological, and physical aspects of eating disorders. Our approach combines therapeutic interventions with compassionate care, aimed at healing both mind and body. In the following sections, we’ll explore the most common eating disorders we treat, and how our evidence-based therapies can support recovery.

Anorexia Nervosa Treatment

Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, distorted body image, and refusal to maintain a healthy body weight. Women with anorexia often see themselves as overweight, even when they are dangerously underweight. This disorder can lead to severe physical and mental health issues, including malnutrition, organ damage, and depression.

Treatment for anorexia involves a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), nutritional counseling, and ongoing emotional support. Early intervention is crucial, as many individuals with anorexia are resistant to treatment and may struggle to recognize the severity of their condition.

Bulimia Nervosa Therapy

Bulimia Nervosa is marked by cycles of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, using laxatives, or excessive exercise to prevent weight gain. This cycle is often carried out in secret, leading to feelings of shame, guilt, and isolation. Bulimia can cause significant physical and emotional harm, from digestive issues to mood swings and body image concerns.

Our bulimia therapy focuses on breaking the cycle of bingeing and purging, addressing the underlying emotional triggers, and promoting a healthier body image. Through therapy, individuals can regain control over their eating patterns and emotional well-being.

Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) involves consuming large amounts of food in a short period, often when not physically hungry. This disorder can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and emotional distress, especially since many women try to hide their eating behaviors. Unlike bulimia, individuals with BED do not engage in compensatory behaviors like purging, but the emotional toll and physical health risks are significant.

Therapeutic interventions for binge eating disorder focus on understanding and managing emotional triggers, rebuilding a positive relationship with food, and developing mindful eating habits.

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) Treatment

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is characterized by a restrictive approach to food intake, not out of fear of gaining weight, but due to anxiety about the food itself—such as textures, smells, or fear of choking. ARFID can lead to nutritional deficiencies and physical health complications, especially when left untreated. While body image is not the driving force, the impact on physical health and emotional well-being is significant.

Treatment for ARFID involves gradual exposure therapy, nutritional counseling, and addressing the anxiety surrounding food to help individuals expand their range of safe foods and improve their overall health.

Orthorexia Treatment

Orthorexia involves an unhealthy obsession with eating “pure” or “healthy” foods. What often begins as a desire to eat well can spiral into an extreme restriction of food groups or avoidance of ingredients perceived as harmful. This disorder isn’t officially recognized in the DSM-V, but its prevalence is growing, and its effects on mental and physical health are significant.

Therapy for orthorexia helps individuals regain balance in their approach to food, allowing for a more flexible and healthy relationship with eating. Through therapy, we work to ease the anxiety and compulsive behaviors associated with food choices.
