IS FOOD A SUBSTANCE??????
Please see my videos and visit my channel to see materials from the Rudd Center from Yale.
This chain of change can only take shape if you are prepared to explore and expose a great deal of material. Please do not get fooled by simple solutions becauuse this is a very complex issue. I am working on creating a healthy marriage with all foods. This is about BALANCE ,and I have decided to take the risk so as to force this issue to be discussed fully.

@MissesPapillon – Art therapists/psychotherapists are probably more able to connect with a patients true emotions than any other therapist. Creating art and communicating verbally utilises both left and right sides of the brain, hence greater insight into an individuals thoughts, feelings and emotions.

It is obvious, in this case, that the whatever is wrong (anorexia) does not respond to logic. The therapist “proved” logically to the client that in objective reality she was smaller than she perceived herself to be. However, this did not help the client. This is because the therapist needs to appeal to her affect (emotions). The client needs to experience in a FELT way. Gestalt therapy in my opinion is one of the best to access the emotions.

@GreekVegetarianRecip continued.
For example, the client draws/paints something and then becomes that something-through her imagination and creates a dialogue with herself and what she draws. Then she can attempt to integrate the conflict.
I hope this therapist works with Gestalt influenced therapies. - Comment Feed for this Post

Well, maybe when she said….haha no. I kid. Her pretty little head doesnt spin, I promise & well, as for projectile pea soup, I seriously doubt it these days. & after the Exorcist, I cant stomach it myself. ::makes face:: I like peas though.
