What is an Eating Disorder?

Eating disorders can involve eating too much or too little while becoming obsessed with your body weight and shape. Problems with eating can occur for a variety of reasons. This includes bad habits, unhealthy associations with food, and emotional dependency. There is also the contemporary pressure to conform to society’s beauty standards.

Eating Disorder Symptoms

Do you experience regular bingeing or comfort eating? Unable to adopt healthy eating habits? Low energy or low motivation? Frequent use of laxatives or vomiting to manage your weight? Lack of control in managing your eating patterns? If you are experiencing any of these, you may be suffering from an eating disorder.


Eating disorders can do a lot of damage to your health. Therefore, it is important to treat your problem immediately. People who are suffering from eating disorders often don’t get the nutrients necessary for a healthy body.

  • People with eating disorders are at risk of a variety of serious complications, including:


    • Further mental health issues such as depression and anxiety
    • Bone damage
    • Tooth decay
    • Stunted growth and development
    • Relationship problems
    • Substance abuse
    • Difficulty performing at work or school
    • Limited life expectancy

Eating Disorder Help

There are three main types of eating disorders. These are: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and overeating. The eating disorder treatment Mona undertakes is dependent on the type of eating disorder you are struggling with. The most widely known disorder is anorexia nervosa. A constant refusal to eat a sufficient amount of food. This prevents you from maintaining a healthy weight, leaving your body unable to function properly. Bulimia nervosa is another eating disorder, consisting of binge eating purging, and using either vomiting or laxatives to avoid putting on weight. Overeating is an eating disorder that can lead to obesity, often caused by emotional trauma and an unhealthy relationship with food.

People who suffer from eating disorders commonly hide their problems from others, finding it difficult to accept the fact that they have a problem that requires professional help. As with any disorder, the longer you suffer, the worse it becomes. The first step to recovery is recognising the problem and seeking out help. It can be tricky to know exactly what will work best for your disorder.

ARFID Hypnotherapy​

Hypnotherapy for Eating Disorders

Clinical hypnotherapy can be effective in helping with an individual’s eating disorder treatment. Hypnotherapy can help your brain break unhealthy associations with food and emotions. It enables the processing of unresolved feelings or emotions associated with food or unhealthy eating patterns. 


The possible root cause can be identified and dealt with through Mona’s integrative approach to treating eating disorders. Negative behaviour patterns can be broken while enforcing more positive habits, helping to conquer the disorder. Hypnotherapy can also help to improve self-confidence, aiding the progress to healthy eating habits and recovery.
