Roseville Anorexia Treatment Center and Sleep Eating Disorder

Sleep-related eating disorder (SRED) is a condition that was first documented by Dr. C.H. Schenck in 1991. Our Roseville anorexia recovery center has found that it is a disorder in which individuals who are asleep consume large quantities of food in a short time period and then return to bed. In some cases, they have no knowledge of the activity. In others, they remember the episode in vivid detail even though they were asleep.

SRED can be triggered by a recent change in diet, depression, cessation of smoking, or stress, among other life changes. Once underlying triggers are addressed, symptoms of SRED typically dissipate.

What Exactly Is It? Researchers have differing opinions on whether SRED should be classified as an eating disorder or a sleep disorder, as it clearly has aspects of both. Read more on AspireWellnessCenter.com blog page.

Adolescent Binge Eating Disorder Treatment Talks Movement Therapy

There are many forms of adolescent binge eating disorder treatment. They cover the spectrum from traditional forms of psychotherapy such as talk therapy to medication regimens. A unique form of treatment that is beginning to get more attention is movement therapy. The American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) says that movement therapy is used in a wide variety of settings, from psychiatric hospitals to outpatient care centers.

Reestablishing the Mind/Body Connection

It’s not uncommon for a person with binge eating disorder to develop a profound disconnect between their mind and their body. In other cases, the disconnect is what led to the eating disorder. Either way, movement therapy can help reestablish that critical connection.

California Eating Disorder Recovery Center on Avoiding “Hanger”

Irrational anger due to being especially hungry (or being “hangry” to use the somewhat recent term for this condition) is something we can all relate to. People sometimes joke about it, but for someone who is in recovery from an eating disorder, it’s no laughing matter. At our eating disorder treatment center in California, we stress that a person should to stick with the recovery/eating plan that has been designed for them. But for those who have entered a less structure phase of their recovery, we encourage them to eat intuitively.

Staying Out of Survival Mode

As the energy from your most recent meal is used up, your glucose level drops. If this process goes too far, your brain feels you are beginning to “starve” and it kicks into survival mode. For some people and under certain conditions, that can manifest as aggression or lashing out. Read more from this blog.

Bulimia Treatment Centers in Roseville on Retaking Control

If you’re struggling with an eating disorder, it’s likely that you have allowed food to take on characteristics that it really doesn’t have. You’ve given it power over your decision making and therefore over your health and happiness.

The reason or reasons that you’ve done that are issues that you will address over time, but the fact that food has control over some areas of your life is something that you can begin dealing with today. At our bulimia recovery centers in California, we help those battling eating disorders put food in its place.

Retaking Control

Over months and years, and with repeated instances of food “winning” imaginary battles that you’ve had with it in your head, you begin to see it almost as a living thing — a force that has the power to control your life. It’s not alive or capable of dictating your actions, of course, but it becomes nearly impossible to convince yourself of that.

Self-Control Tips with Adolescent Binge Eating Disorder Treatment

It’s a skill that goes by many names — self-control, willpower, self-discipline — but whatever you call it, it’s the ability to decide which impulses you will act on and which you will resist. And the greater the temptation, the harder it is to maintain control. This skill is helpful in all areas of life, and it can be particularly useful in the struggle when receiving adolescent binge eating disorder treatment.

Growing Your Self-Control

In addition to its role in helping people recover from eating disorders, self-discipline has been shown to have other positive benefits. For example, children with more self-control tend to get higher grades, have more friends, and are less likely to take up smoking or binge drinking. So, everyone should practice these tips for increasing willpower:

Teen Eating Disorder Recovery Center Encourages Less Judging

People with eating disorders often feel that they are being judged by those around them. Whether it’s true or not, they believe people are evaluating their weight, their eating habits, etc. And often their response is to judge others in return. At our teen eating disorder recovery center, we encourage teens to break the cycle by not criticizing others, which helps them feel less criticized themselves.

Simply Experiencing Life

Judging others is a natural behavior. Instinctively we want to know if they are a threat to us or a potential friend or mate. Unfortunately, this behavior often takes a dark turn and we begin seeing danger where none exists, which in turn leads us to believe that others think the same of us.
