The first thing to keep in mind is that the bingeing and purging are only symptoms of a much more deeply embedded disease. Controlling the binge/purge cycle is important, but any treatment that focuses purely on this aspect is fundamentally flawed and shows a lack of understanding of the disease. Instead we have to recognize a deeper illness, often with many other symptoms including depression, anxiety, other addictive behavior and often physical effects apparently unrelated to bulimia. These may include skin problems, menstrual irregularity, or insomnia. Overall, the binge/purge cycle is an indicator but little more, of a far more invasive chronic condition. The continuing suppression of these symptoms does nothing to cure the deeper disease. Instead, the illness looks for other mechanisms of expression. If, for example, a sufferer attempts to cure the insomnia with sleeping pills it may reduce briefly, but may later return more vehemently. More likely another apparently unrelated symptom may occur, such as a skin condition or digestive issues. The suppression of symptoms often simply forces the underlying condition into new and more damaging means of expression. As a result, some clients begin to feel they are ‘always ill’. In reality, the same illness is expressing itself in many different ways. Hypnotherapy has been proven to help in many ways.

If you are dedicated to recovery I would go ahead and give it a try. At the worst you don't change any of your behaviors and you are the same as you are now.<br><b>References : </b><br> You need to try something.

This teaches you how to analyze WHY you're doing what you're doing and to find different coping strategies for what ever is causing the bulimia. I'm no expert, but I think it's too complicated an issue for hypnotherapy.<br><b>References : </b><br> Have you tried cognitive therapy?
