INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT

As the parent of someone affected by anorexia, you find yourself in a particular area of tension. Your child is losing more and more weight - possibly to a life-threatening extent - and superficially there is nothing you can do about it. But standing idly by is not an option either.


Optimally, your child is so self-reflective that he or she will notice for him or herself that the limit of healthy weight management has long been surpassed. Optimally, your child is then actively wanting to return to a healthy way of life and is ready to accept the necessary support. Optimally, the relationship between you and your child is trusting enough that he or she will talk openly with you about it.

Unfortunately, the reality often is different - this is where I step in.


 


Specifically, I offer...

  • A non-judgmental space for your worries and fears
  • Long-term and individual support to answer your concrete questions
  • Clear explanations of the way of thinking when suffering from anorexia nervosa, based on my own experience with the disorder, so that you can better understand your child
  • Development of individual options to provide the best possible support for the person affected.



Here are a few sample questions that may be on your mind:

  • Does my child have an eating disorder?
  • What is anorexia nervosa and how does it influence the way my child "ticks"?
  • How can I help my child to get better?
  • Pros and cons of ambulatory and stationary therapy?
  • Where is the fine line between trust and inactivity, duty of care and self-care, control and inappropriate paternalism of a young adult?






Methodology

Most of the time, you and I will talk openly and appreciatively with each other about all of your concerns. In addition, it may be useful to draw upon imaginative procedures, role-playing, relaxation techniques, cognitive techniques, neuro-linguistic programming techniques, etc. 


Of course, I will inform you in advance about the tools and the goal of such an intervention. You may then decide whether my suggestions appeal to you.
