EATING DISORDERS AND BEHAVIOURS

Mealtimes are opportunities for families to gather, converse and exchange news and views on daily activities. But they can cause immense anxiety and tension for family members when they become a battleground. Feeding disturbances such as selective eating, anorexia, and bulimia can affect the health and well-being of not only the sufferer, but others as well. Hypnotic strategies reduce tension, enhance self-control, support increased and realistic body awareness, alter distorted body image and foster autonomy and self-development.
