Anorexia Nervosa

What is Anorexia Nervosa?

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by extreme weight loss, a distorted body image, and an intense fear of gaining weight. It can have severe physical and emotional consequences, often requiring professional intervention for recovery.

The Role of Counselling in Recovery

Counselling helps individuals with anorexia understand the underlying emotional issues that contribute to their disorder, such as low self-esteem, trauma, or perfectionism. Therapy focuses on rebuilding a healthy relationship with food and self-image.

Developing Healthy Habits

Through therapy, individuals work on developing healthier eating patterns, learning how to manage stress and anxiety, and building self-acceptance.

Family Involvement in Therapy

Family therapy is often a crucial part of anorexia treatment, as it helps the entire family support the individual's recovery.

  • Rebuilding self-esteem
  • Developing healthy eating habits
