Recovering from Anorexia and Bulimia

My Treatment Philosophy

Patricia Kyle Dennis, Ph.D.

Anorexia and bulimia are serious eating disorders that can begin with dieting and

exercising and

progress to a physically damaging or even fatal mental illness. It is

important to identify and

address these disorders as soon as you suspect that they

may be present. As your therapist, I will

help you to understand the complex nature

of the problem, and how eating and weight-related

symptoms serve important

purposes in your emotional life.

You will not be pressured to give up these symptoms as this rarely works. Instead,

we will work

together to help you find ways to cope with feelings and situations that

are difficult for you. As your

therapist, I will suggest ways to get your eating under

control and improve your body image.

As people recover, their symptoms subside when they are no longer needed.

Recovery takes time, but it is possible.

This is the most important thing to keep in

mind as we

work together.
