Bulimia is a psycomsomatic disorder, in other words when your mind suffers, your body suffers as well. The interconnection of the mental and spiritual has been admitted both by doctors and by psychologists. Based on the works by K. Miss (PhD) and N. Shily (M.D.) I have come to simple conclusions which help to understand the reason for your own disease.

There are 8 factors, behavior models causing the disease:

I am writing this for everyone. For those who know what I'm going to write about and those from whom this cup has passed.

I am a mother to two daughters. Both are sick. Nobody had any idea. I too failed to notice the progress of their disease for years until a deadly threat loomed large over our family.

«Everything has its origin in the family!» — on hearing this trite statement I inevitably recall my first teacher who used it only for reforming undisciplined children:  bad boys and tomboys. Such was my perception at that time: «Can it possiblly be that his mother and farther purposefully taught him to behave like that?» And why does she not tell it to model pupils? Aren't good manners taught in the family?" We laughed at this statement all my school years. But it appears to be not so funny…

It is common knowledge that the cure effect of any disease depends on the time a patient asked for help.

The psychotherapy of bulimia starts since the time of first contact of a psychotherapist and a client.

The key and necessary condition for starting therapy is a client's wish to get rid of the problem, to take on responsibility for her life, and the belief in her abilities and change possibility.

Basic causes of bulimia can be formed in childhood: because of traumatic events, character formation and temper, complexes, low self-esteem, etc. I also admit a certain genetically conditioned food addiction and wrong eating education. This is a consistent effect of a plenty of factors; and targeted slimming is just a provocation of that being recorded earlier.

We can't also deny a current effect of fashion and advertising on slenderness standards. As a rule, bulimia progresses in adolescence or a bit later when a girl enters an adult, independent life and has no idea what to do about it. There are lots of adverse factors caused by cutting off ties with mother who used to be an invisible protection and still a fostering «umbilical cord» during prenatal development, ties that had existed before self-identification in independent life and private problems. Cutting off ties with mother is very painful for highly-sensitive and delicate girls.

I have created this blog for everyone and to declare the problem which is very hard to cope with on one's own. Once your start throwing up to keep your weight, you can't stop any more. Weight and parameters of your figure become key life values.
