A Fear-Based Disease

Anorexia stems from fear.

Fear of being 'out of control'.

The person with anorexia has been in a situation before that was 'out of control'. Perhaps during childhood. Perhaps a long time ago. Perhaps it was something that was never discussed. Perhaps it was something that was overlooked, ignored.

But whatever this earlier situation was, this out of control situation, the result was deep emotional pain.

I will be discussing this in-depth. In the meantime, I invite anyone with questions to send me an email so that I can try to address these issues.
