Therapies for eating disorders

[jeeze s]

Wondering if anyone works with people with eating disorders and what comp therapies they give?

It would depend on the condition, but I'm figuring some sort of 'mind' therapy such as hypnotherapy or NLP would be best. And, EFT could be great too.

In one of the American massage mags I have at home (so either Massage Magazine of Massage & Bodywork) I remember they did an article on the use of Massage for individuals suffering from Anorexia. It took evidence from doctors who work with eating disorders and clinical studies I believe. Was absolutely fascinating, its been a while since I read it but what I got from is that the therapy helped people deal with what is for some the root cause of their disorder ... self-confidence.

Allowing someone to touch you so intimately, without judgement, just for the therapeautic benefit was incredibly powerful for some. Anorexia is so often unrelated to weight or food - that is the result of something else. And Massage helps people on so many levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - they can take from it what they need.

If you search on Google for "massage anorexia" you will find a lot of articles about the benefits.

Thought Field Therapy (similar to EFT) would work wonders - the success rate is somewhere up near 98% which is just amazing.

Otherwise, if they prefer a 'talking' therapy - Solution Focused Brief Therapy is really fast and effective.
