Eating Disorder Treatments – Finally a Cure that Works
Traditional treatments tend to focus on one side of the myriad issues which lead to eating disorders, but are not all-encompassing.
CBT
Cognitive behavioural therapy advises the client to take one day at a time and ”cope with” their disorder – With guidelines to avert their detrimental behaviour. This focuses on the symptoms of the eating disorder, but not the root cause.
Counselling
Psychotherapy or counselling takes the opposite approach and endeavours to tackle all the emotional issues which might be at the core of the eating disorder, by asking the sufferer to evaluate their life and go over distressing past incidents.
Because the stress of counselling is on “counting your worries”, it can even mean that the client becomes more depressed as a result and their eating disorder intensifies.
The NHS
In the experience of many sufferers, (including Tasha at Winning Minds), the NHS will either fail to accurately diagnose an eating disorder (particularly bulimia, because patients tend to be regular weight) or, if they do recognise it, they will prescribe one of the therapies above, which tend to prove unhelpful, for the reasons stated.

NHS Weight Charts and Eating Disorders
NHS weight charts, which are used to measure whether a sufferer has a healthy “BMI”, tend to allow for a patient to be extremely underweight by any other standard and yet still be deemed “healthy”. Equally, several completely slim and healthy clients have been reckoned to be “obese” by the spurious weight criteria used.
Not all anorexics weight 5 stone and, as stated, bulimics can often be within a “healthy” weight spectrum. At this point in time, it is the feeling of many eating disorder clients that they are only taken seriously by the NHS if they fall into the “underweight” category on their weight charts, and it is not at all evident what these charts are based on.
At Winning Minds we focus on changing your mind-set. That’s why our unique Neural Recoding technique may have been invented as the perfect eating disorder treatment.
