Eating Disorders Psychology

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapeutic tool that is used to help people who suffer from addictions, anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders...Some of the most popular types of CBT will be covered in this audiobook.

And that is at the core of the practice.

Despite our best intentions, many of us find ourselves routinely overeating at meals, snacking mindlessly, or bingeing regularly.

Eating disorders are serious conditions that can be hard to treat; however, the chances of overcoming an eating disorder increase when exposure therapy is used as part of the overall treatment strategy. Exposure therapy involves confronting (rather than avoiding) challenging scenarios that evoke distress, and though this technique has typically been used mainly by psychotherapists, people struggling with eating disorders can use it on their own to reduce troubling eating behaviors.

In this illuminating and groundbreaking new book, food psychologist Brian Wansink shows why you may not realize how much you're eating, what you're eating, or why you're even eating at all.

Mainstream health science has let you down. Weight loss is not the key to health, diet and exercise are not effective weight-loss strategies, and fatness is not a death sentence. Body Respect debunks common myths about weight, including the misconceptions that BMI can accurately measure health, that fatness necessarily leads to disease, and that dieting will improve health. The authors also help make sense of how poverty and oppression - such as racism, homophobia, and classism - affect life opportunity, self-worth, and even influence metabolism.

Vous vous demandez peut-être quel est le lien entre l'alimentation et les émotions. Ce n'est peut-être pas évident pour tout le monde, mais pour de nombreuses personnes, les émotions sont étroitement liées à leur comportement alimentaire. Qu'elle soit consciente ou inconsciente, l'alimentation émotionnelle régulière entraîne souvent une grande souffrance chez les personnes concernées. L'alimentation émotionnelle se manifeste généralement sous la forme d'une alimentation de frustration ou de stress, c'est-à-dire que l'on compense par la nourriture un sentiment négatif.

Those who struggle with disordered eating often find themselves in an unrelenting cycle of harsh self-judgment, painful emotions, and harmful behaviors. Seeing the body as an adversary, these patterns can lead many people to become withdrawn or isolated.

This insight, informed by yoga and mindfulness meditation, views the body not just as something to be healed or restored but as a source of great wisdom and knowledge.

Losing weight has become the modern woman’s Holy Grail.… Everything will be better when we’re thin. In the 21st century, being thin, even more than being rich or happy, sends a clear message of success to the outside world. No wonder then that disordered eating is on the rise and we’re increasingly unhappy with our bodies. The Ministry of Thin takes a controversial, unflinching look at how our desire to lose weight is out of control; at the widespread depression that results, the tyranny of celebrity culture and the dangerous extremes - including drip-diets and cosmetic surgery - to which we will go to be skinny.

"Is this normal picky eating stuff, or is there more going on here?"

The number one New York Times best-selling author of Women Food and God maps a path to meeting one of our greatest challenges - how we deal with money. When Geneen Roth and her husband lost their life savings in the Bernard Madoff debacle, Roth joined the millions of Americans dealing with financial turbulence, uncertainty, and abrupt reversals in their expectations. The resulting shock was the catalyst for her to explore how women's habits and behaviors around money-as with food-can lead to exactly the situations they most want to avoid.
