This is an endeavour to provide an integrated service for the treatment of eating related disorders in Johannesburg, run by a team of professionals who specialise in this field. Problems treatedAnorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, compulsive/comfort eating, obsessive dieting/exercise, weight fluctuation, restrictive eating, purging, laxative abuse, dependency on slimming products and distorted body image. Treatment PhilosophyThe clinical team is able to assess and treat eating disorders on an out patient basis and/or to make appropriate referrals to other in/out patient services where necessary. Our philosophy is built on the understanding that eating disorders emerge as a result of a breakdown in a person’s connection to his/her physical, emotional and spiritual self. Consequently, our treatment philosophy aims to develop reconnection with these aspects of self and to facilitate their integration. This is achieved through a process of learning to sense and know the self, and in so doing becoming more able to own, love, respect, and take responsibility for both the growth and destruction that the self is capable of. This process is understood to be an ongoing, life journey that is essential to healthy, conscious and enriched living.
