Find An Eating Disorder Therapist in Cardston, AB.

The 'Eating Disorder' that I work with are clients who are trapped in a 'Binge Eating Cycle'. I apply the psychotherapy 'Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing' (EMDR) Therapy and reviews the client's dieting relationship to bingeing; the pressure to live up to expectations; anger issues; attachment deficits; self-indulgence and as well have an educational interweave component. I also use clinical hypnosis and cognitive behaviour therapy as a method to help my clients make better and healthier food choices. I also teach my clients self-hypnosis and relapse prevention.

If you’ve struggled with disordered eating, you are all too familiar with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts and a disconnect from the body. You may also have a constant need for control while at the same time feeling a frightening and exhausting loss of all control. Please know that none of this is your choice, but rather is a state of stress and overwhelm while you do your best to feel better. I have nothing but compassion for the distress that comes with food-related challenges, and you have my commitment to help you care for the difficult underlying emotions involved. Together, we will create a safe space to move towards healing and a safe relationship with food and the body.

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.

Have you noticed that you’re thinking too much about your food and eating habits? Does your life revolve around self-monitoring and worrying about eating ‘too much’ or ‘too little’? Has eating become more of a mental chore than a way to nurish and listen to your body? You are not alone. Despite what you might think, disordered eating habits are a best attempt to regulate your mood and feel better. Healing never involves shame and self doubt, but always involves curiosity and compassion. I provide a mindful and person-centred approach to exploring our patterns of eating, learning to be gentle with ourselves, and breaking free of habits of self-regulating through disordered eating.

I work with food addiction, weight and obesity problems and certain types of eating disorders. Self-worth, clear thinking, effective communication, strong relationships are all components to healing and growth. Since family dynamics, past and present, are often part of this problem, we will map out the patterns to help you regain control and freedom in your life. A holistic approach will bring hope of recovery with you as the captain of your own ship.
