Eating and emotions go way back. Every one experiences them, not just women or just men. Living in the media where there is constant exposure to food for the wrong reasons of business and sales and not being healthy. Eating related problems have increased in the past decade, with the advent of popular fast food and junk.
This in turn results in body image issues. The same media that proclaims happiness with fast food, also demands for a fit and thin body. One of the recent trends in body image was the thigh gap for women. The effect of this can be seen in the children and teenagers now. The conflict within and the conflict with the world to look and feel beautiful is never ending.
This can cause self esteem issues, low confidence and even depression. A person with eating related issues can binge eat, not eat at all or vomit everything that they eat. In such situations, the feeling of loneliness is accompanied by guilt and shame.
There are several therapies that can be used. Narrative therapy is one such therapy. Here the client is asked to express her concerns in a non verbal manner. Narrative therapy includes making stories and narratives of the clients, breaking it down and restorying it as the client wishes. The same in implied in therapy with techniques. Narrative therapy gives the client the freedom of drawing, writing, singing or any form of expression that is comfortable to the client.
