Testimonials

"If I never said thank you before, let me say it now. Even though it took you almost six weeks to get me to go for treatment, you never gave up on me, like I always gave up on myself. A special thanks to Jodi who never stopped believing in me. By the way, I have been in recovery for 7 months now, what a miracle."
Erin B, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"It's been 17 months, six days and four hours since I last purged, but who is counting. It turned out to be much harder to give up my eating disorder than the cocaine. You were right about going to an eating disorder treatment center that was just as skilled in drug addiction as bulimia. Life is Good!"
Brenda T., Chicago Illinois

"We wanted to thank you helping us find treatment for our daughter. She's like a different person. We are so grateful to all of your staff."
Nancy and Gary B. - Baltimore, Maryland

Barbara S. - Long Island, New York

Emotional Bulimia Causes

The causes of bulimia nervosa can be varied and often difficult to pinpoint. That's why it is imperative that professional therapists and counselors be included in the patient's treatment program. Only once the emotional core issues are revealed can true recovery begin to occur.

Through years of detailed and clinical research, it has been shown that some of the more common factors that can contribute to bulimia include:

  • Stressful life events
    • A death in the family
    • A divorce
    • Moving
  • Family history
    • If a sibling or other family member has bulimia nervosa, it has been found that there is an increased risk of other members also developing it.
  • Social values
    • If one admires thinness in others or idolizes certain thin individuals, one may develop bulimia in an attempt to be more like them.
  • Perfectionism
    • Striving for the "perfect body" is one of the most common causes of bulimia.

Successful Treatment Starts at The Women's Treatment Center for Healthy Living

The Women's Treatment Center for Healthy Living places a strong focus on identifying the individual causes of bulimia nervosa. Research has proven that unless these psychological issues are dealt with in concert with the physical aspects of the disease, recovery can be difficult to accomplish. Through the implementation of a comprehensive therapeutic treatment program, we can best manage the disease, both the physical complications and the often-hidden, emotional bulimia causes.

Call our nationally-recognized eating disorder helpline today at 1-800-588-6158. The call is toll-free, confidential and the counselors at The Women's Treatment Center for Healthy Living are available to help 24/7. Overcome bulimia nervosa by getting help today - call now!
