Treatment for Bulimia Nervosa using the Functional Relaxation System

What ever the reason for having Bulimia Nervosa, The 4th R can help you using the Functional Relaxation System

Bulimia Nervosa is not only a physical condition but also an emotional one.   The root of this condition is the intense feeling of inadequacy that creates the need to manage one’s weight and body appearance.  

The affected individual manages Bulimia Nervosa by periods of binge eating, followed by induced vomiting (also known as purging), use of laxatives or excessive exercising to ensure there is no weight gain.  Individuals with this condition (mainly young females) are typically full of anger and frustration, but, even though they know they are harming their health, overcoming bulimia nervosa is difficult. Despite their efforts to get what they believe is the perfect body image, they never get there because they create an unrealistic and unattainable view of what they believe is perfect.

The ill health caused by fasting, excessive exercising or purging also creates ill health on an emotional level.  By harming your body, you harm your mind. The feelings of remorse or obsession are unhealthy both physically and mentally.  The person with the condition centers their life on their physical appearance and the insatiable quest to find the perfect body image.  Regardless of what they look like, they believe they are not good enough. This creates a severe mental strain and the result is declining health overall.

If you suffer with Bulimia Nervosa, learning to relax and manage your stress and anxiety with respect to stereotypes and body image, will help you to return to health - physically and emotionally.
