Therapy for

Anorexia

Set out to lose a few pounds but now you can’t stop
Feel terrified of gaining weight
Obsessively weigh yourself, and the way your weight goes, your mood goes
Feel intense guilt after meals
Cannot stop thinking about food
Have lost weight but are still not satisfied with how you look
Avoid activities you used to enjoy because food is involved or because you want to hide your body

Figure out what feels so scary about weight gain and decrease that fear
Slowly incorporate more food into your daily eating
Identify and change beliefs and behaviors about food and your body that maintain your restriction cycle
Improve self-worth, outside of your weight and food choices
Learn skills to cope with emotions in a healthy way
Explore what underlying need restriction is meeting and find a new way to meet it
