An eating disorder is often considered one of the most dangerous mental health problems. They can affect any person, regardless of their age, race, gender, size, and geographical location. Approximately 28.8 million people in the United States have struggled with an eating disorder, and it affects at least 9% of the global population.
The Psychology Behind Making Healthy Or Unhealthy Food Choices
According to various clinical psychologists, healthy eating has less to do with understanding nutritional information and a lot more to do with understanding the emotional responses to stress that lead to issues such as binge eating, excessive weight loss or weight gain, and other eating disorders. People who haven’t developed healthier coping mechanisms to stress and anxiety often have unhealthy relationships with food and often engage in impulsive behaviors.
Psychological Reasons Behind Unhealthy Eating Habits
There are many different psychological reasons that are often at the core of unhealthy eating habits. These include:
- An overabundance of conflicting information about food and diets that causes people to become overwhelmed, and they end up making poor food choices.
- Inability to commit to healthy eating habits and not having a clear action plan or fitness goals.
- The propensity of many people to self-sabotage due to unrealistic expectations or fear of failure.
How Hypnotherapy Can Help Heal Your Relationship With Food
Hypnotherapy is becoming an increasingly popular method to treat and manage eating disorders and unhealthy eating habits. Hypnosis helps remove unconscious blocks that a person has developed that prevent them from making healthy food choices. Hypnotherapy also helps reduce anxiety and allows individuals to become more in control of their life by recognizing the triggers that cause them to indulge in unhealthy habits.
