KIERAN FITZPATRICK HYPNOTHERAPY
Treatment for Bulimia and Anorexia in Dublin.
Bulimia and Anorexia are two separate eating disorders. Often they may seem to share some characteristics and even appear to overlap, or one may seem to evolve from the other.
Knowing this is important for effective treatment. I offer Hypnotherapy sessions for eating disorders both face to face and online.
Bulimia is usually means a compulsion to binge on food and then later feeling compelled to "purge", (normally by inducing vomiting).
This is obviously a physically very unpleasant experience. But sometimes what are even worse, are the feelings of embarrassment, shame and even guilt, which accompany this cycle and the stress and shame of trying to keep it a secret.
​
Analytical Hypnotherapy is a fast and very effective therapy for resolving Bulimia at its roots, so that it is a permanent solution.

My Treatments for Bulimia and Anorexia
You may have noticed that I have separated these two "eating disorders". I have described one as a "compulsion". The other is an "obsession", or obsessive disorder, two different and distinct things.
And this is the key to treating these disorders.
​
Also I have described them more in terms of feelings and fears, because that is the real problem. The eating behaviour that follows is a symptom. Anyone with an eating disorder is using food to try to soothe very unpleasant feelings of fear, anxiety, low self esteem, shame, poor self-image or poor self worth. They are generally, for some unknown reason, deep down, feeling very bad about themselves in general.
​
Anorexia is an obsession with controlling the body and, put at it's simplest, is a phobia of putting on weight. The sufferer has such a fear of putting on weight that they are sometimes happier even when their behaviour has reduced their body to skin and bone. They eat very little. And, in extreme cases, not even enough to survive. Such is the anxiety of an Anorexic person, being able to control the food consumption and weight, gives them some sense of control and ease to their anxiety.
​
Hypnotherapy treatment for Anorexia typically takes a number of weeks to complete, but results in a permanent release from all of the fear, anxiety and bad feelings that caused you to turn to, or away from, food for comfort.
It is not a "quick fix", but Analytical Hypnotherapy is a permanent cure. Afterwards, there is no problem to "manage", or to worry about reoccurring in the future. Just a new lease of life and freedom.
