Eating disorders and food control
Eating disorders are one of the hardest conditions to treat. The person involved has many layers of hurt that the control of food becomes their seemingly only way to cope with emotional pain.
Unfortunately, the associated behaviours are often very manipulative and destructive on the person themselves and those close to them.
When occurring in a family context, family therapy is often the main therapeutic approach, with individual support as needed.
This blog covers the main types of eating disorders. The cognitive, behavioural and emotional impacts are also discussed.
Self-discovery in a hiding tree
A tree near me reveals it secret every winter. The secret being that despite being on a small roundabout in a busy road it is the home of several nests.
My perception of this being odd indicates that I have a limited mindest of what is appropriate or expected behaviour. Surly the birds would use the hundreads of trees in the park on the other side of the road.
If I limit the behaviour of birds in this way how do I limit my own.
