Eating Disorders: How the traditional approach often fails and what works.

Are you suffering with an eating disorder — or close to someone who is?

You would know, or you will soon discover, just as I did (my wife has been in recovery from an eating disorder since we began dating years ago), just how much of a strain an eating disorder can place on your relationship.

Eventually, every aspect of your life will deteriorate. That’s unless you find an effective solution. The problem with many traditional approaches to eating disorders (including overeating, binge eating, bulimia and anorexia) are that they seriously fail to treat the disorder as a complex system.

                    STRAIGHTFORWARD CYCLE

By ‘complex system’, I mean, something that maintains itself through a number of cycles or deeper patterns.

For example, let’s take a straightforward cycle that we’ve all witnessed in others or ourselves:

Alicia feels awful without knowing exactly why. Whenever she feels awful, she will usually eat something to try and feel better. Alicia gains weight, looks at herself in the mirror and feels even more awful. Feeling worse leads to her eating more and gaining more weight.

And so the cycle or pattern continues to deepen.

How does Alicia break this cycle? Well, if you asked most professionals they will look at Alicia’s situation through the lens of their expertise.

They will look at a narrow component of the overall system. This narrow view is often limiting, for reasons we will cover in a moment.

Alicia’s nutritionist identifies that the foods Alicia typically eats (high G.I.) are likely to be creating feelings of irritability.

Alicia’s psychologist zooms in on Alicia’s thoughts during a typical day to see how she can improve her thinking process.

Alicia’s relationship counsellor focuses on Alicia’s relationship with her boyfriend and her family.

All of these professionals and insights can be very helpful at the right time and place.

However what Alicia mostly needs is to consider the entire system of her eating disorder. She doesn’t need a professional pouncing on a narrow component of her disorder and her life.

Not unless it has been identified that the area in focus has been determined as having maximum positive effect over the eating disorder — with minimum input or effort.             

                    THE DISORDER COLLAPSES

Maximum positive effect with minimum input is known as the principle of leverage.

Get enough leverage and the disorder collapses. This simple question can be helpful when viewing the eating disorder and your life in general, ‘what area would be most helpful to focus on so as to effect major helpful change?’

A seemingly small adjustment at the right time and place can create a hugely positive effect over your eating disorder.

This is not to suggest that change is easy. Change is often difficult. And it usually takes time. However with a strong approach, the difficult becomes manageable. And a manageable recovery is a successful recovery!

A deeper intuitive part of you already knows where to place your attention in order to effect major positive change. It’s important to learn or practice listening to this intuitive part.

There’s a lot that you can do to get better at this skill. For now, just take note of any subtle feelings both pleasant and unpleasant. Pleasant subtle feeling are often telling us ‘Yes’. Unpleasant subtle feelings are often telling us ‘No’. It’s important to practice discerning between an intuitive response and an emotional responses. Intuitive responses offer you incredibly reliable guidance. Emotional responses rarely offer reliable guidance.

                    ABOUT INTUITION

If the concept of intuition sounds wishy washy, keep in mind that entire fields have been built upon simple communication processes with this intuitive intelligence within our body. These include Behavioural Kinesiology (i.e. Muscle testing) and Neuro Linguistic Programming and Hypnosis (i.e. Ideomotor Signals). The guidance is there, we just need to discover how to plug into it.

Some possibilities of leverage for you could include anything from developing new skills in emotional management and preparing to make that change in career. It might be that right now what you need is to start (or stop) seeing that person offering assistance. Or perhaps develop some daily form of practice such as journaling, meditation or prayer.

Let’s say you’ve developed a great relationship with a person or an organization that assists you to make positive changes through your eating disorder. So now what?

Well, for starters, remember that no matter how skilled and helpful your advisor may be at working with you to intuit what you require next, everybody (even the most practiced professionals) has a rate of error.

                    DAY AT A TIME

Don’t take what anybody says as gospel, or as one of my coaches instructed me, “When you eat a watermelon, spit out the seeds.” Never stray from the path of practicing listening to your own body. And as they say in 12 step groups, take your recovery “One day at a time.”
