What does "nutrition" mean? For many people, the idea of nutrition is related to providing nutrition to the body, mainly in the form of food and water. This conceptualization of Westernization ignores the fact that for the sake of survival and development, all souls, spirits and bodies need to be nourished. The mind, body and spirit are closely related, and the individual must provide nutrition for all aspects of the self to gain a sense of being alive and fulfilling. Spirituality is not a unified concept. Instead, it consists of three aspects. The spiritual level at the individual level is related to the inner self, that is, how a person nourishes his or her own soul and realizes his own life and universal purpose. However, this intrinsic spirituality needs to be linked to the spiritual connection to others, to the needs of human relationships to human relationships, and to the needs of the larger "cosmos". Spirituality makes us aware of and associates us with the larger universe we belong to. The process is slow, and the journey to fullness can span decades and life. This article explores the journeys taken by individuals with eating disorders in developing their mind, body and spirit, as well as the role of eating disorders in understanding the larger goals of life and learning how to achieve true and lasting nutrition.
People often ask: "Why do I have an eating disorder?" Many people don't realize that eating disorders are not random unfortunate events, but they actually have a purpose. In many cases, eating disorders symbolizes the difficulty of finding other, more satisfying ways to deal with important needs and emotional problems, some of which may not be conscious. Similarly, customers with eating disorders often resist giving up their eating habits because they think it makes them special and unique, providing identity when they are confused about themselves. In this sense, eating disorders can be used as a mask, and a person tries to figure out his true identity and purpose in life, and really wants to know something about where he belongs. When individuals are prepared to face these potential problems, they first need to identify, confront and heal their eating disorders by re-feeding and slowly nourishing their thoughts. Working with a therapist who recognizes that eating disorders play a role in self-reformation provides them with an opportunity to learn how to feel a full-feel. The same is true in their spiritual and spiritual life. One person accepts and acknowledges that their spirituality can be terrible because it means facing bigger problems in death and life cycle. From this point of view, eating disorders are a turning point in spiritual pursuits and can be used as a catalyst to explore what people need to feel in their minds and spirits. As the case study below shows, the better question is, "How can I learn and grow from eating disorders?"
Jennifer is a white, well-educated, high-class young woman who has been fighting anorexia for seven years. In her treatment work, she was first indignant that her eating disorder was more than calculating calories and she wanted to lose 5 pounds of food. In the next few years, we studied the physical and emotional factors of her dietary problems and worked hard to understand the goals of her eating disorders. In this case, Jennifer's eating disorder is a way for her to adjust her inner emotional state, that is, to experience anxiety associated with feelings that hurt her and she does not understand. By controlling her food intake, she is able to focus on other things, except that she is lost in the world and does not know where she is. By staying extremely thin, she felt that she was still like a little girl, so avoid having to face the real purpose of her life. The use of healing techniques specifically designed to reconnect the mind and body, including reiki, yoga and other body-directed therapies, will be described in detail below. Jennifer not only restores healthy weight, but also realizes the importance and spirit of nourishing her mind. Learn to experience and accept her emotions without resorting to chaotic behavior as a coping mechanism. By exploring the issues associated with her beginning to limit food intake, she realized that her physical hunger was a way of staying in line with her more intense mental hunger. Through meditation, Jennifer realized that the way to gain inner spiritual nutrition is to strengthen her spiritual connection with others. She realizes that her goal in life is to help other people with eating disorders, and that her own dietary problems can help her understand and really help those who are also lost in the body or life. Jennifer has begun to help others on the road to recovery, no longer feel mentally hungry, and has been able to maintain her recovery.
How do other people like Jennifer learn to reconnect their thoughts, body and spirit? There are many experience treatment techniques, many of which can be combined to help individuals heal their bodies and grow mentally. In these cases, the therapist can act as a personal therapist and spiritual community to help create a sense of contact with another person and gently guide the client's own mindfulness and spiritual awareness.
In a variety of psychological orientations, including Adlerian psychology, it is widely believed that one of the early developmental experiences plays a key role in how individuals form internalized perceptions of themselves and others. As we move into adulthood, these early relationship experiences still exist and form the basis of our internal scripts that guide our thoughts and behaviors in our daily lives, especially in our interactions with others. For example, a person with self-criticism and restrictive parents will mistakenly learn from this relationship, she is often judged, and is low and not worth it. When we react to the environment, this perception may be internalized, individuals will believe that she is not worth it, and should not feel "full" and may limit herself in any way. This view will later be used externally to exacerbate maladaptive and destructive life goals through self-criticism and participation in limiting self. This developmental experience not only makes people feel worthless and unpopular, but can also lead to eating disorders.
Psycho drama is an "action." Orientation technology developed by JL Moreno. Its main principles include healing replays and role-playing of important and important scenes, or events in personal life, not just talking about them. For example, early aversion to parental experiences may be re-empowered, highlighting the impact of interpersonal relationships in one's life and the patterns of thoughts and beliefs generated by such interactions. Props can be used to promote these mini-drama, and empty chairs can also be used to indicate that a customer needs to express themselves. These techniques help individuals to exit a significant scene and take an observer's perspective, which usually provides more insight. By performing in a psychological drama, an internal drama stage can be brought into consciousness and expressed in the outside world, raising awareness and redressing psychologically destructive and/or erroneous internalization and beliefs when rethinking someone's thoughts and actions. In this sense, psychological drama can be a spontaneous, creative expression of one's own emotions, inner voices and means of telling stories of life, in addition to expressing any desires, fears and terrible problems. Using the body in a psychological drama to convey a person's inner world can help connect the body and mind, and can provide a catharsis of physical and emotional tension. Psychodrama is beneficial because it can be done in both personal and group environments, which can help individuals feel supportive. This provides an opportunity to connect with others and to look at their experiences from another perspective. In short, psychological drama can help individuals to understand their feelings and give them internal empirical meaning in a more concrete and realistic-oriented form.
Nevertheless, it is important to recognize that some people who experience eating disorders will express their emotions in psychological drama. Therefore, it may be useful to explore other art forms [such as paintings and sculptures] that express the thoughts and feelings in images and symbols rather than words. In addition, based on the commitment of physical exercise to influence mood and physical health, dance or exercise therapy can also be used to bring a sense of vitality to a body experience with emotional valence. This technique allows individuals to symbolize their journeys and experiences in life and strive to free them from psychological dilemmas. Regardless of the medium used, the important idea is to initiate a creative experience process. By reconnecting us with the intangible creativity of control and the mobile universe, summoning our creative potential and using our bodies and ideas in an interrelated way can help us move towards a spiritual foundation.
Although psychological drama can establish and nourish stronger physical and mental connections among customers with eating disorders, but...
