How Can Bulimia Treatment at CEDAR Help?
If you’re stuck in the cycle of bingeing and purging, hiding food, excessively exercising or fasting, then you’re likely at risk for serious health complications. Bulimia treatment at CEDAR can help you develop a positive body image and reestablish your relationship with food through focused therapy and coaching.
Nutritional counseling involves developing a healthier relationship with food by learning healthier ways to eat. Our dietitians and nutritionists combined with our wide network of medical professionals can help you to get back on track with eating a healthy, balanced diet so you can move beyond the harmful cycle of bingeing and purging.
Food is supposed to make you feel good both physically and mentally. In our view, food is medicine, and a healthy relationship with food gives you permission to eat the foods that make you feel good in a balanced way. Through our treatment, we can help you reestablish a nutritional balance in your diet and develop a quality relationship with food.
Most people with bulimia nervosa have an obsession with food and with their weight or body image. Thus, this condition affects both mental and physical health. At CEDAR, our experts can help you develop a healthy relationship with food, lead you toward living a more balanced life — and help you recognize that nothing is wrong with your body.
Obsessing over food, excessive cravings, and even hoarding food are all symptoms of bulimia nervosa. Through therapy and education, we can help you learn to manage your cravings, identify triggers, and develop healthier coping mechanisms to reduce the frequency and severity of binge eating episodes.
At CEDAR, our program focuses on helping individuals eliminate harmful purging behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse, or excessive exercise. By addressing the underlying causes of purging, we can help you break free from this destructive cycle and start living a balanced, healthy life.
Bulimia nervosa is often associated with underlying mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression. Our program addresses these issues through therapy and medication when appropriate in order to help you manage your symptoms and improve your overall sense of balance and well-being.
Questions About Bulimia Treatment?
We understand the challenges of living with bulimia, and we’re sure you have questions about treatment. Rest assured that our evidence-based treatment focuses on restoring your physical health, addresses underlying emotional triggers, and helps you develop sustainable habits for lasting recovery. Let’s work together to nurture strength and growth toward a healthier, more balanced future.
While the precise cause of bulimia nervosa remains elusive, it is widely believed to be a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. A family history of eating disorders can significantly increase your susceptibility while societal pressures and cultural ideals often perpetuate unrealistic body standards. Furthermore, emotional distress or co-occurring mental heath conditions can also serve as catalysts for developing bulimia nervosa.
At CEDAR, we employ a variety of approaches for bulimia treatment that may include a combination of psychotherapeutic modalities such as CBT-E or FBT, nutritional counseling, support groups, coaching, or medication when deemed necessary.
If your relationship with food is causing you stress or anxiety and is beginning to affect your life, or if you have an unhealthy obsession with body image and weight you should seek treatment. Additionally, if you’re bingeing and purging, or if you’ve begun experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath, heart palpitations, fainting, severe sore throat, or acid reflux, you should seek help immediately.
