Help for eating disorders

October 16, 2018 By Admin

Sexy woman in HatThe management of an eating disorder is ideally managed by a few professionals: a GP, Psychologist, Psychiatrist, and Dietitian who liaise with each other and work together to provide the individual with the care and support they need to recover from their eating disorder.

Psychological Treatment

The foundation of psychological treatment is in forming a secure and trusting relationship with the psychologist in order to address the underlying issues that led to the development and maintenance of the eating disorder.

These issues are often anxiety, depression, poor self esteem and difficult interpersonal relationships. Depending on the individual being treated, a psychological approach and treatment plan are selected with the aim of overcoming these underlying issues, equipping the individual with helpful psychological strategies and life skills to assist them in coping with stressors and triggers.

The following models of psychological therapy can be used in treatment:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – CBT has been consistently shown to be effective in treating eating disorders. CBT explores the thoughts and feelings that cause behaviours, and encourages people to explore their eating disorder-related behaviours in this context. By challenging unhelpful thinking styles and the beliefs that underlie them, it is possible to develop healthier behaviours. Using the CBT approach, the way a person thinks about themselves and food will be identified, along with the factors that reinforce and maintain disordered eating behaviour. Subsequently more positive ways of thinking about food and self will be developed.
  • Mindfulness Based Therapy – Mindfulness based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) have all been found to be extremely effective in treating individuals with eating disorders. These therapies place an emphasis on mindful meditation, mindful eating and a range of other techniques aimed at increasing the awareness and acceptance of eating behaviour. This approach is different from CBT in that it is focused on  disengaging or “letting go” of negative thoughts, rather than challenging them.

Help for ADHD

August 1, 2018 By Admin

If you are concerned your child might have ADHD, the first step is to visit your GP. Your GP may refer your child to a paediatrician if they are not already seeing one, or a child psychologist or psychiatrist for further assessment and diagnosis. If your child is diagnosed with ADHD, you and your health professional will work together to develop a management plan. This may include behavioural strategies, medication, or a combination of the two. For support managing the symptoms of ADHD, or if a diagnosis is required, call 3067 9129 today for an appointment with one of our child psychologists.

Relationship conflict

April 8, 2018 By Admin

Conflict within relationships is an inevitable part of life, and not necessarily bad. It is normal for people to have different needs, interests, values, beliefs and opinions. Resolving and managing conflict in a productive way can actually help you to create a deeper understanding, closeness and respect for your significant other. There are a number of ways that people approach conflict. Some have a tendency to avoid or deny the existence of a disagreement or conflict. Others feel that they have to win, or use their power or influence to get what they want. Or there are those who would rather just give in, than have to struggle with conflict. Engaging in healthy conflict can take time and practice, and involves both partners actively participating in the process and putting in the effort to find a solution that is acceptable to the both of you.

If you would like to learn more on how to manage relationship conflict, call 3067 9129 to make an appointment.
