Holistic Eating Disorder Treatment
A word about Holistic eating disorder treatment
Whenever you are discussing Holistic eating disorder treatment, you have to consider healing-oriented or integrative medicine in the equation. Holistic eating disorder treatment and integrative medicine are partners when it comes to healing the whole person. In other words, no single part of a person can become ill or well without the entire individual being affected. The goal of any Holistic therapy is to treat the body, mind, and spirit of the suffering individual so that they become whole again.
A multi-disciplinary approach to treatment and recovery
Many types of experiential therapies are oftentimes utilized in Holistic eating disorder treatment and recovery. These therapies are especially effective when treating clients who have suffered from various traumatic experiences during their lives. Therapies that are included in Holistic eating disorder treatment may include:
- Cognitive-behavioral interventions
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
- Gestalt Therapy
- NLP (Neural-Linguistic Programming)
- PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- TFT (Thought Field Therapy)
- TIR (Traumatic Incident Reduction)
Additionally, if the trauma has involved sexual abuse, these issues should always be dealt with in a gentle, professional, and respectful manner. Holistic eating disorder treatment and recovery programs treat the client as normal individuals so the programs will typically reflect their personal needs. The client is encouraged to participate in a customized therapy that has been developed to address their specific needs. They do not take a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment and recovery.
Methodologies and modalities used in Holistic eating disorder treatment
No two individuals are ever alike and the same holds true for Holistic eating disorder treatment and recovery programs. However, they will all offer certain activities that help to supplement the recovery process such as:
- Acupuncture
- Adventure-based therapy (a.k.a. Wilderness Therapy)
- Body work
- Emotional freedom techniques (EFT) or energy psychology
- Equine therapy
- Expressive arts therapy
- Functional medicine
- Healthy eating and whole foods
- Naturopathic medicine
- Neuro-feedback
- Spa treatments
- Yoga
Although you will rarely find all of these in a Holistic eating disorder treatment program, many of them will be offered as a choice of activities to be engaged in during your residency in the facility.
