10 Week Eating Disorder – Treatment Program

We at Vaughan Counselling and Psychotherapy Inc have started a 10 Week Eating Disorder – Treatment Program.

Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is more than just "eating too much" it is accompanied by the feeling of not having control when eating and feelings of guilt and distress around overeating (Marzilli, Cerniglia, & Cimino, 2018). There are many different possible causes for BED such as low self-esteem, perfectionism, lack of control in life, family factors such as a focus on weight, or disharmony in the family, or social pressure of looking a certain way (“Binge Eating: Breaking the Cycle A Self-Help Guide Towards Recovery,” 2015).

WHAT DOES AN EATING DISORDER LOOK LIKE? WHAT TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE?

Individuals are often surrounded by various messages and feedback from different sources like the workplace, family, and friends that impact the way they feel about their physical appearance. For some, poor body image is a sign of a serious problem: an eating disorder, defined as disorders in which there is excessive concern with the control of body weight and shape, accompanied by inadequate, irregular, or chaotic food intake.
