We have all heard of various
eating disorders
and there are many different types and diagnoses. The way Mind Over Body thinks of "
eating disorders
" can be summed up as "disordered eating". "Disordered Eating", is simply eating that causes distress in one's life. This is a very large umbrella. It would certainly include the well-known
Anorexia
Nervosa, which is life-threatening along with an equally distractive eating disorder known as
Bulimia
Nervosa. Binge Eating Disorder has been around for a long time, but is only recently added as a disordered eating diagnosis.

I provide individual online counseling for two distinct specialties:
eating disorders
and Christian-based therapy. Have you spent countless hours (or years) struggling with your relationship with food and your body? For many this is a battle that not only impacts your mental health, but also impacts your relationships, college or career performance, and overall wellbeing. Recovery from issues related to food and body image is possible. I use knowledge acquired from specialized training in
eating disorders
and disordered eating to walk alongside you as you navigate the road toward healing.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is an excellent approach for individuals with trauma history,
eating disorders
and anxiety/depression.
If you have not had much success so far with therapy and feel that the suggestions have not helped to shift things in your life, I may be a good fit for you. I can help you explore what is contributing to your feeling stuck and overwhelmed and move beyond it towards real healing. I work with children, teens, parents, adults and families. Being a parent myself, I can often bridge gaps between children and parents.

In addition, my EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) training turns out to be of essential help with many disorders such as Smoking Cessation, mild depressions,
eating disorders
and others.
Wolkig with all age groups, I offer my years of experience in helping clients achieve life enhancing changes. The hypnotic state allows a person to be more open to suggestion. So-called "POSTHYPNOTIC SUGGESTIONS" may improve treatments for many conditions, including: phobias, fears, anxiety, sleep disorder, PTSD, grief and loss. Hypnotherapy can help changing a person's behavior, such as smoking, biting nails, alcohol & drug addiction, obesity, low self esteem and relationship problems. Furthermore, hypnotherapy is particularly useful in treating pain and preparing for surgery. Hypnotherapy proves to be an excellent tool to enhance sport specific skills in golf, tennis, football, baseball and others.
